A Big Miss...

I've owned around 15-20+ full bottles from Aaron, and this is the first huge miss for me. You HAVE to love dirty vetiver to enjoy this fragrance. It reminds me a lot of Grey Vetiver mixed with a touch of Encre Noire, but more pungent. This is unwearable to me and has absolutely NOTHING to do with the original Guapo, which I adore, which is why I am a little mad at this failed blind buy. Aaron should absolutely discontinue this ASAP and make room for a better creation. Even the 7.4 rating that this currently has is way too generous. I truly don't know what he was thinking when he released this, especially as a flanker to Guapo.

Swing and a miss

I love ATH - I own 6 of his fragrances. So I was excited to get something to wear in the fall/winter. But man...I've given this two shots and it just completely misses for me. There is something skunk-face off putting about it. I think the combo of clove + nutmeg + gaiac wood is just a mess of a base and gives off a rancid smell. There is nothing identifiable in the top notes (bergamot, orange, citrus, apple? No...none of that).

I got desperate enough to ask Chatgpt to save it and it recommended layering with Legend...so I tried that. It helped...but I can still smell that funk in the background. Will need to sell this. Just hope the potential buyer doesn't read this review.

Difficult to describe, but not a fan.

I sold this a couple of weeks after buying and smelling / wearing almost daily.

This is very well blended and is difficult to point out individual notes. What I "think" I'm getting the most is vetiver, clove, and nutmeg. I wanted to buy this because ATH described the emphasis on vetiver with this flanker to "Guapo". This is most similar to Tom Ford's Grey Vetiver, but a more (experimental?) version.

The best way I can describe this is a metallic clove and vetiver scent. I think the nutmeg adds the earthiness to this, but doesn't come off as spicy, kind of how its used in TF's Grey Vetiver. I don't pick up on any citrus. I get a hint of granny smith apple in this, and the rest of the base notes play a small role in establishing the earthy background of this.

I can applaud ATH for constructing a truly unique, well blended fragrance, but this isn't for me. There's just something about it that comes off strange and displeasing.
