I like it…until the drydown

I like the opening of this: fruit, citrus, rum. It leans quite masculine but that’s not really a dealbreaker for me, more an observation. It’s more the drydown that doesn’t really work for me, and I’m not sure what it is. I just know there’s a note in there that strikes a harsh, discordant tone for me and clashes with the other notes I’m enjoying. I suspect it may be the combination of amber, milk and patchouli that makes me feel a bit uncomfortable. Too bad, because I like a good rum scent. The longevity is quite reasonable, more so than some others from this house, so if it works well with your skin chemistry it would at least stick around.

Not exciting

I was hoping that this was going to give off Armani stronger with you intensely vibes, but it does not. It smells kind of like syrup. I feel like it’s more of a masculine sense than it is a feminine scent, but it does work as a unisex. I just feel like it’s more synthetic and find it rather unpleasant.

gourmand+leather?

a warm-ish blanket of tart fruit (i get a lot of plum) and sweet leather.. your cool cultured aunts closet filled with leather jackets from the 90's probably smells like this (in the best way possible!!), someone you'd admire but are also a bit intimidated of.. a softer version of "juliet has a gun mmmmh.." ..a new favourite??? only the name leaves me wondering where's the booze ??

dark liquor in a crystal tumbler

I get no fruit whatsoever, it's sweet leather all the way. Not especially boozy either.

Brings to mind J. P. Morgan's study at the Morgan Library. The buttery-soft leather-bound books sit on slightly dusty shelves (no one ever reads them). A heavy crystal tumbler containing one finger of very fine scotch sits on the unblemished leather desk mat, which is atop a massive mahogany desk.

Sexy Sweet (Stuffy) Leather

Warm, yummy, identifiable. Leathery for sure, but also syrupy sweet. Definitely unisex IMO, and overall pleasant, though I would recommend wearing a light dose. I had a travel size and used it up, but it gave me a bit of a headache (good longevity!) and isn't something I'll rebuy. I would still think this smells good on someone else so long as we're in an open space, not a car or something. It isn't anything shocking, but a well-made perfume for what it is.

If you have tried other Malin and Goetz scents, it is definitely in line with the rest. Many of them I have tried are a bit heavy and stuffy, but fit well in a dimly lit scene, or on an attractive person smoking outside.
