The scent is, in my opinion, very pleasing. It doesn't clash, it doesn't disturb, but simply smells pleasantly of vanilla with a hint of tobacco. Truly nothing special or too complex, but just a well-wearable vanilla winter fragrance that has its right to exist. Compared to other PdM's (Layton, Godolphin, Pegasus, Carlisle), I find it the weakest, although I still think it's a very crowd-pleasing, easily accessible, pleasantly sweet vanilla scent.
