#sotd...Esquire American Novelist by Michael Malul... American Novelist opens with a fresh clean minty smell to it. I could actually pick up the mint from start to finish on this. Has some green and some Leather undertones here and there. Seem to come and go as the fragrance wears on. Very nicely done. Good overall performance. I went 9 hours before refreshing and at the time I was still picking it up. Mostly a skin scent but definitely still there on my clothes. I give this a 9 out of 10. This is very versatile and could be worn all year round. As with all of Michael Malul fragrances, this is office save.
