Tried this one out at the mall, and to be honest, it didn’t grab me right away. In the warm indoor air, it came across a little muted and heavy. But once I stepped outside into the cold, it was like a switch flipped. The tobacco and amber started to bloom, the spice softened, and the whole scent took on more depth and presence.
It wears as a warm, slightly sweet blend of tobacco and amber, with nutmeg and patchouli adding a classy, masculine edge. It’s not loud or attention-seeking, but it carries itself with quiet confidence and polish.
Vibe: warm, refined, mature
Notes: tobacco, amber, nutmeg, patchouli, labdanum
Performance: around 7 to 8 hours on skin
Sillage: moderate, noticeably better in cooler air
Definitely one of those fragrances that feels made for colder weather. It really comes alive outside more than it does in a warm indoor space.
