Why Only The Good Ones Have To Die?
I am so fortunate to own this fragrance. Apparently this has been discontinued and can't be found NO WHERE. If you're curious, an approximation of this would be Tobacco Oud Intense (Tom Ford). It has the intenseness of it without the tobacco or oud, if you can wrap your head around that.

It also has a suede-y-ness about it.

If you like the idea of that and run across this, JUMP ON IT!

*EDIT
*

Definitely has oud and the closest approximation is Overture Man by Amouage, which I now own. That's far more complex than this. And where that is reminiscent of French perfumery, this definitely has nothing to do with French perfumery. Also, this is far more muskier. Both are beautiful.

Though it's not, this is as if the perfumer of OM took this and built upon it, adding complexities and nuances, due to having a bigger budget to do so.

Scent of Pure Gold
A truly majestic masculine fragrance, an exquisite blend of expensive ingredients, among which I would mention fine Cognac, leather, agarwood, myrrh and musk, as well as various spices that give it a roundness and a multidimensional projection. Very good from the start, and very reliable with the passing of time, just like an exemplary gentleman, perhaps with a slightly naugthy glimmer in his eyes!
