I was introduced to this via a decant thanks to the kindness of @Steve Louis. This has been featured here often over the past few days, @Sean Kavanaugh and today I’d like to give my take on this interesting frag. Steve had mentioned a leather jacket/mechanic vibe from this. I get that as well, right from the open. But my nose put me in a fine car restoring garage. A clean leather mixed with a fresh lubricant kind of smell for about an hour before settling into this wonderful smokey scent. It is a scent that announces your presence and commands attention and respect. That said-it’s an absolute beast in performance and nuclear in projection. Definitely NOT for the timid or blind buyers. This is one for the bold and confident gentlemen. I enjoy this for its quality, performance and just overall scent.

I think I made my first frag purchase in November / December 2024, and until then I was relying on a 30+ year old bottle of Polo Green given to me by my father-in-law back in the 1990s. In 2025 for some reason (GLPs, I think) my interest in fragrances was all consuming. I've bought niche, designers, clones with reckless abandon. Some purchases were brilliant, some not so much... I don't need to tell you what I'm talking about. In the middle of the summer I decided that the only answer to this newfound obsession was going to have to be a trip to the motherland of Middle Eastern fragrances, Dubai. Anyway, we're leaving this Wednesday (?, maybe Tuesday...) and my wife has finally come to the realization that I'm going (ever so slightly) overboard to get questions answered. Besides, I want to see what the heck it's like in that part of the world. You guys have GOT to check out this video. If this isn't what I'm looking for, I GIVE UP! https://www.instagram.com/reel/DR7_qCCDN33/?igsh=NjZiM2M3MzIxNA%3D%3D
