The Hedonist

really pretty yummy citrusy woody scent. great stuff!!

Bro this thing is amazing first I bought a dupe and oh boy...When I first sprayed the dupe of it(Was sick and had a runny nose) the scent of that ginger hit me like a truck and then I gone thru that 50 ml in a month.And now last week I got my 3rd bottle of this masterpiece.This is truly a underrated fragrance and if you love that Ginger profile from tygar and vibrato you will love this(not quite sure about vibrato tho)this is your fragrance.And the best thing is it fills up your nose so goodd that you feel the scent after 20 minutes in your cerebral cortex lol

Wonderful zingy ginger opening, superior to Vibrato imo.

My favorite of the Tygar DNA scents. While Tygar and Vibrato smell more like a traditional cologne, full of life and vibrant, The Hedonist comes off as more reserved yet unafraid to stand out of the crowd. It feels like stepping outside on a misty day, sniffing the damp air, and acknowledging how you’ve become different from the person you used to be. It makes itself heard but never invades. It is beautiful.

Can't go wrong with the Tygar ginger DNA, mass appealing and versatile. Out of all the Tygar family fragrances the only one I haven't tried yet is Vibrato. The Hedonist is like if Ingenious Ginger was linear and didn't have a sweet dry down. The sparkling ginger smell is totally identical to my nose. The Hedonist is admittedly a little boring, but it smells great.

On paper, The Hedonist is yummy. It's sweet, but also balanced with not-sweet elements. I was so excited to try it on my skin, but on my skin it smelled completely different! It opened as a pepper bomb, and mellowed out into a pretty boring fragrance. I liked it a lot better on paper.

Find this quite sharp and screechy

The people who say performance is bad, are going noseblind, I can smell people approaching from, literal, metres away when they're wearing this. Absolute stunner, and compliment getter. Nowhere near as sharp and screechy as Vibrato.

Oh Yes please! This is gorgeous. Lovely complexity, fresh, spicy, woody perfection. Straight into my favourites. Performance could be better, but I don't mind. Love it!

Another citrus and ginger freshie with a woody base. It's nice and fresh and definitely high quality but for the price it's kindof boring.

Can't smell nothing after like 30 minutes, lmao.

Tygar dnasına sahip bir koku. Açılışında Eyüp Sabri Tuncer'i anımsatan bir limon ile başlıyor. Bu limon Vibrato ve Tygardaki gibi değil, çok daha köşeli ve pürüzlü hissettiren bir limon. Bu akigalawood nasıl kokuyor bilmiyorum ama parfüm açıldıktan sonra mide bulandırıcı ekşimtrak çalımsı bir koku gelmeye başlıyor, eğer o akigalawood ise bence berbat olmuş. 2 saat ara ara kokladım ama sonunda pes ettim. Hiç hoşuma gitmedi, olmamış.

On my skin, it’s a bit too transparent and easy to go nose-blind to. I couldn’t detect much, especially when comparing it side by side with the Extrait version. I prefer the Extrait. They share the same woody, dark character, but the Extrait is slightly stronger and much easier for the wearer to detect throughout the day.

I don't usually give ratings on samples, but here I am. I am a big fan of the Tygar DNA. I have Vibrato and love it. This hits the same spot in my brain. This scent is more airy than the Tygar or Vibrato, it also feels a bit drier without becoming musty. It doesn't have the initial juicy kick of Tygar or the thermonuclear projection of Vibrato. It's a calm middle ground between them and L'Immensite, with a more gentlemanly feel to it. I like it and I want it to join my Ex Nihilo collection, only one shelf away from Vibrato and Tygar.

I just got this and I absolutely love this, but can't help it but feel like that the performance is bad. I've tried to press the atomizer fully down, and it sprayed so much that I think I've used like 2-3 mls in 2 days of use...lmao. So I will just use half sprays because the atomizer is crazy on this one.

This is a big, masculine monster but with lovely nuances. Three season and definitely a night out fragrance. My suggestion is go in with a few buddies and split up the five pack travel size.

It is a good Tygar variation, which I enjoy better than both Tygar and Vibrato. Smells more complex-interesting than Tygar and less in your face than Vibrato, which is what I was hoping it would be. Performance appears to be fine, long lasting moderate projection. Recommend to give it a try.

To my nose this smells like a combination between sole patchouli and ingenious ginger with akigala wood

Worse than azzaro chrome for comparison

this smells good i have here the edp and the extrait and this one smells more blended together but more simple, this has a woody and sweet combo and also smells fresh. very good. I have to say, they are both so similar that i would honestly get this one. compared to extrait the extrait has more depth you get the same notes while getting more background notes, yes it smells great but its not worth the price if this one smells 90% alike. if you really want to go the extra mile for 10% more uniqueness and are willing to spend way more then get the extrait. that being said I think both are amazing and blind buy safe. 2 great masculine scents. now i will mention the EDP is more mass appealing. the extrait is alot more rich and mature, 9.4/10 on the EDP

You may read this review and think, “What is she talking about?” But I'd still like to share my thoughts on this fragrance. I've only had the bottle for a short time and haven't had the chance to wear it properly yet, but I already wanted to share my first impressions. This was a blind buy. When I opened the cap and sprayed it for the first time, I couldn't figure out what it reminded me of. I kept coming back to it throughout the day, turning the bottle over in my hands and trying to place that familiar feeling. Then, later that evening, I opened the cap again, took another sniff, and suddenly it clicked. Eureka! To my nose, this is a masculine interpretation of YSL Elle. The overall mood, character, and direction feel remarkably similar, but this version is more masculine and lacks the prominent rose note. I own Elle by YSL and compared them side by side, which is why the resemblance immediately stood out to me.

I like The Hedonist better than Tygar(too much amboxan and bitter) and Vibrato(too dull) becuase it has more of a brightness along with a woody base and is blended nicely. It's definately masculine leaning. 8.5/10

Very nice; similar to Speed Legends but a lot more interesting and appealing to me. Probably also closer to unisex. The ginger bergamot combination is really juicy.

Really mixed when paired with Mayar

classy, uplifting and very bright kind of scent. love the ginger. performance is wild. you can feel the quality when you smell it. thats it.

A luxurious and sexy smelling bar of soap that is unisex but leans a tad feminine. It also projects like crazy. To the guy that said this smells like Amouage Outlands…. Chico_Bennem you must be missing a few fucking brain cells

I got a 10ml as a gift with an order. Went into this blind, but instantly got the Tygar DNA. It is a bit more woody and has this sparkling note. I have used this twice. Both times 2 sprays each on skin. On my skin, this projects like crazy. To the point it hurts my head. Throughout the day, it just wafts off of my skin. I completely expected it to fade away, but somehow feels like it gets stronger throughout the day. It doesn't smell bad, just not for me due to the headaches. That being said, this is a good all year round kind of scent. Maybe not in hot hot weather.

I've sampled this one, Vibrato and Tygar. This make me think of a darker version of Vibrato. I like this, but think I prefer Tygar to be honest. Its worth getting a sample. I'm sampling the Hedonist Extrait now, and am going back and forth on which one I like more between the two. Its a nice scent, but I'd sample Tygar, The Hedonist, The Hedonist Extrait, and Vibrato before buying any if I had not smelled any of them. I prefer Tygar.

Literally amouage outlands lol

Nose Note #863 I'm sorry, I'll just copy my review of the Extrait onto here, because it only makes sense. I'm explaining why below. I'm an idiot for not checking Fragrantica before buying samples... I bought both Extrait and simple and applied them simultaneously on each hand. And I immediately thought: "Wait a second, this can't be a dupe of Tygar, can it?". Apparently, it can... And this dissapointed me beyond reason. At least Extrait has this double slightly caramalized sweetness making the difference, but DAMN IT it's only in the openning 10-20 minutes, passed that Extrait and simple are much much alike. I can't say Extrait performs much better, people are probably tricked by the marketing and the name Extrait. Extrait honestly doesn't always equal stronger performance. Extrait does initially feel denser and definately much sweeter, but don't the road it doesn't. And it definately doesn't justify being priced almost double the amount, this is absurd... The price on both and the fact that Ex Nihilo is just pulling on the famous DNA is smearing the impression on the perfume a lot for me. It is not a 1 to 1 dupe of Tygar though. Extrait feel a lot more unisex, almost leaning feminine honestly. The simple version is closer to Tygar, but it's still sweeter. Without digging into details, you are pretty much getting the same experience as with Tygar, absolutely the same. Now let's praise it a bit. Tygar is still more expensive (than the simple version), so buying Hedonist you are getting the same solid performance and wonderfully done composition, better than Theoreme Homme, Al Qiam Silver and Sceptre Bronzite (in order of quality best to worst). This smells like quality, but I have a big issue here. It's really good, but something about it, some component really itches me the wrong way, maybe it's ambroxan, I don't know. The UAE dupes don't have this particular itchiness and are actually more wearable in a way. It's like Hedonist has something about it that's just overstraining, i.e. dizzying. I guess this something is what making it longer-lasting. This is about it. Extrait is much sweeter and thicker, simple version is basically the standard Tygar DNA. Perhaps I like the simple version better. In the air the difference is less evident. Good work, too expensive. Extrait is simply out of reach. 7.5/10, at this point this DNA just feels overdone to me, but the modern legend is still a legend
