This is another designer fragrance that I really liked after a couple of sprays at Macys, so I got a decant to play with for awhile. The official notes say ginger and leather, but I honestly couldn't clearly identify either of those notes. I found it fresh, light, smooth, and slightly woody in the open. It immediately felt mild, but my coworkers could smell my light scent trail after I had left an area of the office, which was surprising. That lasted about 2 hours before turning mild to the 6 hr mark. It maintains an airy, pleasant aroma, with a soft leather and woody base. Not a standout, but nice.

Ok. Some of the newer brothers may not know me but I’m “the snob”. I’ve been doing this since the early 1980’s and don’t do sugarcoating or subtle. My own personal opinion is quality over quantity. Anyone can buy a ton of frags while still knowing nothing. Just like I could buy a sniper rifle or maybe more this time appropriate, play very well in an online pvp shooting game. That does not make me knowledgeable or valued. Hopefully we can agree at this point yes? Well this house breaks that mold heavily!!!! For what I consider very little money you can obtain the frags from this house. Cheaper and I would argue much better components and quality than Dua. Now I’m not saying buy them all. I’m saying this frag has depth, smoothness and soul. Does it have “real oud”? Lmao. Absolutely not. Anyone that tells you that they can “smell the oud” in a frag like this is lying both to you and themselves. but that’s a different topic for another day. If you want a warm woody spicy oriental frag for anytime other than summer? Oh. Btw. While it’s raised in price by $50 from when I bought mine and not like most of my FBW frags $100 as of now on Amazon is still cheap af!!! Yes???? Sorry but this is somewhat of a ramble. Be well everyone.
