Classy Fail
Goes on like champagne, a fruit-infused wine, quite elegant. The first five minutes are wonderful. Then it becomes storax and pepper, which is depressing, but that phase fades as the champagne returns to create this elegant, laid-back, vaguely peppery, refined, distantly fruity, champagne smell, that screams class and masculine opulence. This lasts only an hour, and then the peppery/storax combo drowns out the elegance. Sigh. I know part of this is me because my skin amps pepper and spice like nobody’s business, so it may work for those whose skin doesn’t behave that way. When it’s storax and pepper, it’s Liz Zorn’s Journeyman all over again.
Interestingly, by four hours in, the storax/pepper combo has receded and it smells again like it did in the beginning, albeit as a skin scent. This, I like. I can see girls liking this on a guy, too. Heat turns it slightly sweet/vanilla and makes it slightly aromatic. By hour 12, it's still there, but as a light, gentlemanly scent, like the final wisps of cigar smoke.
This might work for some men, but it did not work for me; nevertheless, it's a classy scent.
