Action hero/Action Villain fragrance
The cardamom and saffron is beautifully spicy and the leather here is nothing short of brilliant. The leather is raw and with a very slight animalic tone in the opening, but mostly floral and clean for most of the wear. There is a burnt tire note when smelled directly up close, nose to skin. But not from 2-3cm off the skin. Incense/wood smoke is also nicely detectable through out the wear. A nice clean and earthy vetiver along with a nice cedar note as a nice base. Cypriol is noticeable, but not to the level where it's unpleasant to me. I'm not a big fan of cypriol in more then low concentrations, but used in the right doses, it is an amazing ingredient. And this is the exact right amount. I believe it's juniper berries that gives it s slight lift, making it almost a little airy. But it's faint' so i can't say for sure. At one point, i swear i detected a bit of ginger too. Spicy and giving that ginger kick to the scent. But i believe that could be a trick of the cypress. It's not linear, but it doesn't evolve a whole lot either. It's a nice, noticeable but expected transition.
To me, this smells like a final boss, or a action hero would smell. Like James Bond, or Hans Gruber (from Die Hard 1). Elegant and classy with an alluring reach, but also with a sharp edge and a dangerous side to it.
I love it, and will treasure the bottle i have, and buy a new one when it's empty. Speaking of bottle. As most people know, the bottle is an art piece on it's own. Even without the gold flakes in the bottle, the way it's made, the oval shape, the attention to details, materials used, how every piece is part of a complete story that together is the bottle and it's content. I blind bought the bottle, and the juice inside just happened to be as good as the packaging. OK, a bit of an exaggeration. I Did blind buy it, but i researched the fragrance thoroughly. So i knew pretty much what i got. And it far exceeded my expectations.
My Only complaint is that i want more projection from a fragrance of this style. As it is a dominant, alluring, dangerous, and powerful fragrance (in my opinion), i would have liked it to have a strong projection. It's still a moderate projection, A nice 30-40cm of projection (about one foot), which is ok. But this is one of those few times i'll say i want strong or enormous projection. This fragrance should grab the attention of everyone around you, and be felt for minutes after you leave. It's a statement piece and an extension of self control into the environment around the wearer.
I get an easy 7-9 hours with steadily declining projection from hour 5-6. Skin scent for 12+ hours. If i spray in the evening, i still pick it up the morning after.
I wouldn't call it a summer fragrance, but a little heat helps it project. It's not so heavy or choking that it can't be worn all year. Just consider the number of sprays and it'll be fine.
Personal score: 9.5/10. I can only take half a point off because i wanted Slightly more projection from this style of fragrance. Otherwise, it's perfection. I can Strongly recommend you sample if you like the note breakdown.
