SOTE - The One for Men EDP by Dolce&Gabbana
It's about 7:30PM now and I was looking for something to wear while I knock off a few hours of work before I call it a night. I haven't touched this stuff in months because I'm not happy with the performance I've experienced in the past. HOWEVER it smells spectacular so I have to give it some love. Besides, I'll probably want to pick something else by 11:30 or so when I finally call it a night and this is probably a good choice logistically. This is a woody, spicy frag that I would call warm and slightly sweet. The opening is a fresh and herbaceous mix of grapefruit, coriander, and some other stuff... The grapefruit is bitter and zesty (good word.) that is also in the mid. The mid has some serious cardamom which is giving it more warmth. The dry-down has tobacco, amber, and some cedar. That's about it... The overall this is definitely sophisticated and refined and absolutely mass-appealing. Because of the performance I get, I have to give this a: 7.0 /10.0 P.S. I would give the EDT a 4.5 for the even worse performance. I understand there's a new flanker coming out. I'm curious to see how that one performs.
