I sampled both the EDT and EDP, but didn't really like either one. Moreso in the edt, the orange note came across like baby aspirin to me, and I couldn't get past that over multiple wears. This much-hyped new release by Dolce & Gabbana opens ambery, moderately sweet with a hint of orange and some smooth, warm spice. There's a richness and a slight aromatic quality also. Tobacco is listed but I can't really isolate it, so it must be part of the woody richness that dominates the fragrance. Projection and sillage are moderate for an hour, then steady mild to the 2.5 hr mark. The orange note becomes more noticeable after an hour., but thankfully it's not as synthetic as baby aspirin. After 2.5 hrs it has become a very mild woody, amber fragrance. At 4 hrs, TOP (I just coined that acronym, and I expect credit wherever it is used across the internet, from now til the end of time 🙃) is a woody skin scent. I'll give it another couple of wears, but at this point I can't justify the hype. I'm sure collectors want it to complete their set, but if you're looking for exceptional fragrances, I highly recommend sampling before you buy! Enjoy the rest of the game brothers!

Question for my shaving Brothers: With the decline in most brands producing and offering matching aftershaves for most of today’s fragrances, has anyone come up with a good way of creating aftershave using your fragrances that doesn’t destroy the notes?
