Very helpful Review
Unique winner in the Pasha collection
Was really worried about this one. Caramel? Spun sugar? Was this going to be an ooey gooey mess? Turns out, NO! It's really nice and quite unique for my inexperienced nose. The smokey note isn't overpowering, but just right to overcome any possibility of gooey sweetness. The woody and spicy components provide an interesting combo with the caramel and smoke. Gives the impression of a subtle animalic note even though not in the official list. Longevity is quite good - got about 9 hours out of it until it was just a subtle skin scent. Sillage and projection are about average. Noir Absolu is going on my shopping list. It's not heavy, so pretty versatile. Would even work on warm summer nights. Strongly masculine fragrance. Price is quite reasonable at discounters - good value.
I have to call out Cartier for being pretty original with the Pasha collection. They aren't doing an endless release of flankers that are only minor tweaks with different concentrations. They are all unique, standalone scents. Have to try the Noire Sport next.
