Billionaire
Designed as a versatile unisex scent for crisp spring mornings and brisk autumn evenings, Billionaire targets drinkers of bitter gin and fans of botanical perfumery. The fragrance contrasts cooling eucalyptus and bright lemon top notes against a dark, earthy core of patchouli and cedarwood. Softened by subtle rose and geranium in the mid, it avoids sweet vanilla trends in favor of clean, medicinal woods. This profile suits office environments, late afternoon meetings, or casual weekend walks where you want a distinct signature without heavy sweetness.

Performance is dependable for an aromatic daily wearer. You get about seven hours of total longevity on skin, with moderate projection extending to arm's length for the first hour and a half. It thrives in mild spring temperatures and cool autumn air. High heat can make the pepper and geranium feel slightly prickling, so save this bottle for overcast mornings, air-conditioned offices, and crisp shoulder-season evenings.

EDITORIAL“Patrice Martin Billionaire Review: Cold Eucalyptus Meets Dry Woods”
Billionaire by Patrice Martin opens with an unmistakable blast of cold eucalyptus and sour bergamot. A sprinkle of black pepper gives the initial spray a sharp fizz that clears your senses immediately. The opening feels medicinal and intensely fresh, almost like stepping into a brisk pine forest after heavy rain. There is zero sugar here. Instead, you get a clean, herbal punch that demands your full attention.
As the volatile top notes quiet down around twenty minutes in, the heart reveals a surprisingly structured floral layer. Geranium brings its signature peppery green kick, while lilac and quiet rose smooth out the harsh edges of the eucalyptus. Rather than turning lush or romantic, the florals stay dry and soapy. By the two-hour mark, dark patchouli, cedar, and vetiver rise from the base, swallowing the bright top notes completely.
On skin, the dominant woody and camphoraceous accords maintain a cool, airy tension. The camphor note from the eucalyptus hovers over the damp earthiness of patchouli without feeling medicinal for too long. Meanwhile, cedarwood provides a sturdy desk-like dry woodiness that stops the composition from smelling like a herbal apothecary. The scent shifts gradually from a cold aromatic splash to a warm, rooty vetiver trail.
Performance is dependable for an aromatic daily wearer. You get about seven hours of total longevity on skin, with moderate projection extending to arm's length for the first hour and a half. It thrives in mild spring temperatures and cool autumn air. High heat can make the pepper and geranium feel slightly prickling, so save this bottle for overcast mornings, air-conditioned offices, and crisp shoulder-season evenings.
This fragrance targets people tired of gourmand sweetness and heavy amber vanilla bombs. If you enjoy botanical scents, classic barbershop structures, or bitter gin accords, Billionaire fits right into your rotation. However, gourmand fans and lovers of creamy sandalwood will likely find the eucalyptus top too sharp and the lilac heart too stark.
Patrice Martin has delivered a structured woody aromatic that respects traditional botanical perfumery while keeping a modern silhouette. Its sharp opening gives way to a refined cedar and patchouli dry-down that wears exceptionally well in professional settings. Test a sample first if you dislike medicinal openings, but serious wood lovers will find plenty to respect here.
