"A lousy room in a lousy part of a lousy town."

This saying, this quote was from Marv AKA Mickey Rourke from the movie Sin City (Part 1).

For some reason, when I first tested this perfume, I immediately thought of this movie and the character associated with it.

A typical bad boy, somewhat unkempt, edgy, striking, leather coat guy, smoker, flamboyant. A guy to be reckoned with, a true one of a kind!

This fragrance exudes confidence and at the same time he does not care whether other people like him or not. No typical mainstream fragrance, which should inspire the masses, but only the wearer himself!

--------------------

The fragrance as such start directly with a strong but dreamlike tobacco note, which is accompanied by incense. This incense is perfectly balanced and thus not too intrusive or "churchy". Woody undertones also come out and round out the tobacco as well as the incense to create a masterpiece. The blood orange doesn't come through directly for me, but certainly plays a certain part in the fragrance development subordinately. In the further course of the fragrance gets both by the spices and the vanilla a pleasant sweetness, which is very, very discreetly in the background.

I had within the first minutes immediately think of Tobacco Oud, that much is certain.
However, not in the way that I thought it was some sort of dupe, but more like it was a brother or cousin. Both are very unique in their own ways in my opinion, but play in the same fragrance league as they have similar traits and characteristics.

Which of the two is now better or worse, I can not and would not presume to say, as I find both incredibly beautiful and have a great dark note with masses of depth.

This fragrance I would actually recommend for autumn and winter and rather for outside. On really cold days certainly also during the day on a nice walk through the woods, but also ideally in the evening in a bar.

Such a fragrance to wear at my meeting should probably be too much for the rest of the people around you, even if you would probably have a lot of self-confidence in your own luggage with it
