Month: October 2018

Oud, bergamot, and tobacco are big components of this.  The first thing that hits me is musk, strong, almost too intense to be pleasant, but after it has a few minutes to dry the other smells comes through strong, and they really work well together.  It’s very deep and rich, the different smells all come together in a very satisfying way.

I think this would work very well on a date, but also in an office.  It isn’t very sporty and doesn’t seem good for outside, concerts, etc.  It has such an interesting and complex scent I feel like a woman would very drawn to the sophistication.  I don’t think this would work very well for a teenager either.

I believe the only place to get this line is from Dubai or Miami, but according to an employee they are working to increase availability in the US.  I hope it does because this company has some great fragrances.

 

This smells like real leather.  I could pretty much end the review right there.

But I wont.

When I smell it I think of my grandfather’s high quality leather furniture. Unprocessed rich leather smell. It smells so much like pure leather I wasn’t sure how appealing it would be to girls, but after getting a few opinions it seemed to be popular.

I think this would be good for a date, I think it could work well in a warm or cold environment.  It seems a bit much for an office, a little too bold of a scent.  What is very impressive about this is how close they were able to get this to the real scent of leather considering you can’t get natural oils out of leather.

If you want a very unique scent to add to your collection I would definitely add this, I wouldn’t make this your only scent though as it isn’t suitable for all occasions.

It’s a bit sweet and floral, doesn’t have a particularly distinct scent.  More on the feminine side of the spectrum, but a male could wear this with no problem.

After an hour or so I have to put my nose right up to my arm to be able to smell anything and it definitely doesn’t project much at all. The first time I smelled it I thought it was great but after a couple more times smelling it I’m not as interested in it as I was. After wearing it I don’t feel it lasts long enough to be worth buying.

 

At first it gives off a strong citrus note, very nice, but very bold.  Once you give it a few minutes on your skin, say 10-20 minutes, some of the most subtle notes become more prominent and the scent improves, gets sweeter, and in my opinion much better.  Like many colognes, smelling this on the stick isn’t going to give you a true idea of what you’re getting.

Even though it changes pretty quickly over 20 minutes, the scent will last a long time after that.   After the first changes the remaining fragrance is pretty stable for a good amount of time.  Depending on what you’re doing it will probably give you 8 plus house.
