I always know that when feminine scent, in the 80% of cases, do disappoint me, masculine scents do not. This one is actually good! It's not "gloomy" but it's pretty dark tho, not dark as gothic but in the way it lingers on skin. I don't get citrus, but absolutely lovely pepper and sensual incense and amber. I would not spend my money on it, but this one is pretty good.
