This is rum alright
This is rum alright! The opening is especially reminiscent of that sweet alcoholic stickiness, like someone's breath sweet with alcohol or like when you step on a patch sticky with who-knows-what at the bar.
IMO it then dries down to something less sweet and more like... smoked plum. I can also pick out something milky and just a hint of patchouli.
It's not bad. I can imagine enjoying it even more with a couple more casual wears, when I'm not actively trying to smell it all the time.
The only thing that ruins it slightly for me is it gives me an oddly specific association. The combination of the rum's sweetness and the leather undertone makes me think of an ostentatious layers' office. I think of an expensive liquor collection and hair gel.
