Fig laying on a leather couch with wood chips and a man's spiciness
Lovely fruity, thick fig with a waxy-like facet accompanied by a burst of sweet, juicy citrus fruits. After that it's figs lying on a leather couch surrounded by wood chips and spicy vetiver with some sweetness. It smells dark, mysterious and alluring for a man. Very masculine-leaning due to the spiciness and the woodiness. Praline ends up appearing after a while, lending a powdery sweetness to the scent and tempering it down a bit from it's strong spiciness and woodiness. Leather takes a backseat (ha ha.) as fig also recedes and praline goes stronger with time as woodiness also starts taking over. Drydown is warm, woody, sweet with a weird sour note that reminded me of the citrus fruits at the top. That sour note is probably what lowered the score even further for me.

Overall, I was pretty indifferent to the leather note as it wasn't too "sport's car leather upholstery", but I'm not a fan of manly spices and woodiness so this won't be making it into my collection. Not the worst scent i've smelled from my Scent Xplore, but not the best either. I have a feeling there's something better out there and less expensive too.

Brecourt Subversif: Classy, Mysterious, Alluring.

A charismatic dandy man in a fine-taylored black suit, crimson scarf, and a dark cosy overcoat, which as well carries the heavy scent of the recently-smoked tobacco, having a solitary walk on a crisp winter eve with the faint moonlight gently lighting up the dark sky.

The scent goes towards the sweeter direction in the dry down stage, but deep down there is still something bleak to it. The whole progression of the scent reminds me of the evolution of Doriran Gray, in Wilde’s literary masterpiece. Through the passage of time, the fruity opening gives its place to the heavier scents emitted from cinnamon and tobacco. And it’s right there where the scent ends; right where Dorian Gray ends. Dark, Full of Mystery, and Bleak...

A fig laying on a leather couch with some woodiness and spiciness. Weird sourness appears in the drydown from the citrus fruits?
