Arthur? You don't look that masculine...

A little review after all...

First of all, a really nice start with a soft incense and vanilla with a good fruity note, which is rather sweet and round and not, as with other fragrances, where the grapefruit is very fresh and sour.
First a very unisex impression and I have to say, this is a first-timer.
Then the heart note soon arrives with beautiful ambrette seeds and a slightly masculine clary sage. For a half hour to an hour, you then have a somewhat more masculine impression.
However, this changes again in the drydown, as a clear, sweet tonka bean emerges and is supported very gently by smoky incense. This slightly more masculine note is then pushed into the background in such a way that I can no longer see any reason to market it as masculine.
Rather unisex for me, but certainly great on a man.
Unfortunately a bit weak on the chest with a restrained sillage.
You already know this Tonka drydown.

But what's with the Babycat comparison? That's a complete mystery to me... not with all due love.

All in all, a good, round, pleasing fragrance that holds back a little.
