Earthy, animalic chypre
I wouldn't really call this a spicy-floral, as described above - to me it's more an earthy-animalic-leather-chypre. I find it quite dark, and the spiciness is coriander, typical chypre-style. Lots of castoreum, one of my favourite animalic notes, and rather heavy on the oakmoss. Some patchouli, musk, leather... but not very floral, at least not on me.
A quality perfume, and I would recommend to try it if you enjoy the animalic-chypre genre. Still, it's probably not for everyone - I admit I find it a bit challenging to wear, it gives me an annoying feeling in my throat (many chypres do, and I got rid of several of them for that reason). But lovely to sniff from the bottle.
Reminds me of Castelbajac No 2 (eau de parfum), which I think I prefer - even if that too seems to affect my throat, and consequently does not get worn often either. A shame, but what can you do. Better focus on the ones that agree with you, there are enough to choose from...
