Hype monster
18 months after this fragrance was ubiquitous on youtube, and having now owned a bottle for 12 months, i can safely say this is not a like for me.
Opening is probably the best part of this fragrance where i get a rich dark chocolate and port wine combination. I can see why the opening may have impressed people, but after 5 to 10 minutes it is tonka-dominant, and not a great one at that.
Another deal-breaker for me is that i get an underlying smokiness from the heart of a burnt plastic and this stays but thankfully weakens all the way to the final dry down.
Obviously, to my nose, this facet alone makes it unpleasant for me to wear.
There are other better smelling alternatives in this genre at the same price point.

On to your review. I really appreciate your take on this one given all the hype. Sounds like I’m good with my cherished bottle of Pure Havane! Thanks again and looking forward to more from you on both YT and this site. Cheers!
