Cocoa-vanilla tobacco in honeycomb
I was able to secure the fragrance last year in winter for a reasonable price. Some people have already compared it to Tom Ford's "Tobacco Vanilla", but unfortunately I can't say anything about that, as I have never been able to test it.
The first thing I noticed about the fragrance was that it is very oily in consistency. It really lasts extremely long on my skin and I could even feel it a day (and a shower) later.
The bottle and box are nice to look at and look high quality, the sprayer is also one of the better ones.
When sprayed on, it is initially extremely sweet and smells primarily of honey. In the midst of this sweetness, a noticeable light smoky note together with cocoa develops quite quickly cloves and cinnamon. Only much later in the drydown the honey "tips over" into vanilla. Tobacco...yes, is definitely - although subtly - present, this rounds off the fragrance wonderfully for me.
All in all a really very sweet and slightly turgid scent. In summer it will surely kill the wearer* and the environment. For a wet-cold autumn and winter, however, perfect!
If I had to compare it with another fragrance, I would describe it as a "Pure Havanne" (which I also find great) on steroids and without the cherry.
My conclusion:
Scent: 8,5/9
Shelf life: 10
Sillage: 8
Flacon: 7,5

Fält me very difficult to classify this fragrance. It starts with me on the skin with sweet mint, citric notes and then turns into a small pepper bomb with lemon. In the drydown, which I reach after about 70 minutes, I smell a mixture of almost...

Finally... my first Mugler. I had tested the standard A*Men some time ago in the shop and found it rather unpleasantly "crass". For some time now, however, my love for coffee has made me feel the need to wear a fragrance in this direction...
