BANG FOR THE BUCK. Apart from the somewhat silly and uninspired name, Bang Bang by Marc Jacobs is actually a very competent flanker to last years successful original.Just like Bang, the dry, peppery woody base remains but has now been updated with a modern minty top and some opening creamy citrus notes. This adds some welcome herbal plumpness and a zesty sting to the rough, smoky vetiver heart. Deep notes of sage and patchouli mellow the overall impression for a significantly smoother ride compared to the original.
Part of the charm of the original was it´s coarse and minimalist approach, which - at the same -time easily turns into monotony and ultimately boredom. Not so with this update. Overall a more complete and wearable fun fragrance. Uplifting, modern and masculine.
Additional official notes include lemon, fennel, cardamom, sandalwood and cashmere musks.

Trevlig och intressant läsning som vanligt och en källa till inspiration. Jag undrar om du har något att säga om Narciso Rodriguez For Him Musk?
Tjena Patrik, tack! Muskversionen är fin och väldigt användarvänlig - elegant & stram. Tycker personligen att originalet - gråa flaskan - är strået vassare med tydlig viol och ekmossa.
