This fragrance hits like a “brick” house
Right off the bat the most unique of the bunch. Out of all the “new” bottles this one is the most challenging. Definitely for the true collector. The moment you spray this it grabs you and doesn’t let go, I get a HUGE does of black pepper in the opening, and it stays throughout the entire composition. There’s a faint sweetness here, like a dark cherry or plum. Neither of which are listed as a note, but trust me it’s there. After about five minutes it dries down to a wet, almost pungent tobacco accord. My dad use to chew tobacco and spit in a cup, this smells like the inside of that cup. The “hay” starts to peek around the corner after about 10 mins, rearing its ugly head. (I do not like hay accords). If you have the patience, about an hour in the jasmine comes in to play in all its indolic glory. Yes this is the animalic, scratchy jasmine. He’s not dressed to impress, he’s been outside messing with hay bails in the hot sun. There’s something here that reminds me of "Al-Khatt | XerJoff" . Definitely no where near as animalic , but like distant cousins. If you can survive the first 10 mins of this fragrance you will be treated to one of the sexiest, muskiest masculine scents I’ve smelled in a awhile. Give it time and it will reward you.
