It took three tries for me, but ultimately it convinced me completely.
A noble, serious, mature scent for men over 30.
Woody-spicy. But also with a noble creamy note. However, it is more subtle than, for example, Dior Homme, with which it definitely competes in the same league.
As an EDT, it is too weak on the skin. As an EDP, it has very good longevity. It lasts on me well into the next day.
It is a close encounter scent. It has no projection. It doesn't shout into the room like a party scent. It is the quiet, reserved gentleman who is very aware of his qualities and doesn’t need to draw attention to himself.
However, those who get close enough will experience its true greatness and quality. Once embraced by it, you will never want to let go.
It is designed to make you curious about its closeness. So, the perfect date scent.
Generally suitable for the whole year, but especially for the winter half of the year.
Pairs well with shower gels that contain amber and cedar.
