Nothing short of amazing.

I'd like to start my review by saying that this fragrance is not for the faint of heart. It has a smoky aspect like no other, and is only for mature noses who would like something unique.

The fragrance opens up with the smell of a fresh, unlit cigar. The tobacco note here is just spectacular, along with a minute hint of "sweetness" from the styrax. The tobacco stays throughout the fragrance, with woody notes coming up shortly after. The smoky aspect of the fragrance I believe comes from the Guaiac wood, and is truly divine.

This fragrance is extremely well blended. It can be worn by either men or women, and therefore is completely unisex in my opinion, while some may find it to lean a little bit masculine. I'd say a woman who is charismatic enough can pull this off no problem.

If you have a strong personality that you can pull off Coco Noir by Chanel, then you can pull this one off, too. It's not for the faint of heart, though, as I previously mentioned.

I adore this creation. I truly do. I'm not particularly sure if the flakes inside the bottle are real gold or not, but they sure do give you a feeling of luxury and add to the presentation. The cap is full metal, and is super heavy. I feel that over time, as I wear this, and the juice level gets lower, that this bottle might get top-heavy and start to tip over easily. This is how heavy the cap is! xD

The plaque on the front is also metal, and is both inlayed and glued onto the bottle. The back of the bottle has some engravings on it, so you won't see the glue gluing the front plaque on (this has long frustrated me with some bottles as it might look kinda cheap, but it's not the case here).

Bois Sikar by Atelier des Ors. A masterpiece. A fragrance I'd enjoy for years to come.
Bois Sikar - A Smokey, Whiskey, Cigar-ry fragrance. Would definitely recommend.
