Great opening, mediocre drydown
The fragrance opens with absolutely stunning combination of woods, grapefruit and leather, softened by sweet kardamom. The mate note is also very present and pleasant. Fresh, elegant, very masculine leaning. This for me is the embodiment of strong yet delicate man.
However, bit by bit the notes start to fade after ~30min and about 2-3 hours into drydown you are left with fairly simple vetiver, not dissimilar to Terre d'Hermes. It's really a pitty, it does not keep a bit more of the woods/leather combo to the deeper drydown.
Sillage is medium, not a room filling fragrance and longevity (given the above evolution) is comfortable 8 hours.
