Shout out to our brother for sharing a sample of this fragrance with me. The initial opening is an intense dark Leather scent. At 15 minutes the Leather note has settled down and I started picking up some spice and Tobacco. At 30 minutes the entire scent profile has settled down nicely and I am getting more Tobacco blended with some of the white florals. At 60 minutes the sweet base notes finally make an appearance and are an amazing addition to the wear. I am picking up Vanilla and Amber and the are providing an elegant balance to the Tobacco and Leather. At the dry down stage, the Vanilla and Amber provide a nice balance to the Leather and Tobacco and the fragrance settles quite nicely into its final scent profile.
Performance: The projection of this fragrace is good with a scent bubble of about 2 feet for about 90 minutes. The Sillage is also good with the scent trail of about 2+ feet for about 90 minutes. The longevity on my skin is about 5 to 6 hours with it becoming a skin scent after about 3 hours.
