Tested this fragrance yesterday, and here is my review based on one full wear. The opening is a blast of nutmeg and pepper. At 15 minutes I am picking up some of the sweetness from the Orange note, alongside some of the spiciness from the Pepper. At 30 minutes the transition to the heart of this fragrance is amazing. Sweetness and muskiness coming from the Labdanum but still a tinge of spiciness remaining from the opening. At 60 minutes into the wear the sweetness from the Amber and Labdanum is the predominant accord with a warm richness coming from the Tobacco. The dry down of this fragrance is just as good as the EDP; if not better. Sweetness from the Amber alongside a rich and warm Tobacco scent that provides a hint of pungency. Then add just a hint of woodiness coming from the Vetiver. The scent profile from this fragrance is excellent. Performance: Projection of his fragrance is OK, with it creating a scent bubble of about 18” for about 2 hours. Sillage is also OK with the fragrance creating a scent trail of about 2 feet for about 2hours. Unfortunately, on my skin the Longevity of this fragrance is not much better than the EDP. I was able to get about 5+ hours of wear with the fragrance becoming a skin scent about 2.5 hours into the wear. This is slightly better from the EDP where I get about 4 hours of wear. That being said, if this is going to be a date night fragrance, then it does the job. To me getting 5 hours out of the wear is fine and I am happy that I picked up the bottle. IMO, owning both the EDP and the Parfum can be redundant, unless you are collecting the line.
