The scent makes you feel confident and stylish
When I brought the aroma to my nose, I felt a little lavender, spice from the cloves and a little freshness. When I applied it to my hand, I smelled mandarin, cloves, a little basil, bergamot and thyme. After a minute, the basil was replaced by juniper berries. The aroma is very cool, moderately fresh, moderately spicy, sometimes even sweet. In the middle, lavender, cardamom, coriander and a little bit of cedar, rose and cloves open up. The aroma began to be felt in a new way, although spice and sweetness are present here, but a wonderful woody chord is added, while the rose, here, in the middle, does not smell quite sweet. At the end it starts to smell like moss, leather, musk and a little guaiac. The aroma becomes very warm, flavored with wood and spices. I really liked the scent

Blast of castoreum, reminds me of Leonard Pour Homme in the dark leathery and earthy aspects. A very nice vintage challenging scent, to try!

Contradiction: wonderful even without chest hair / Agreement: definitely go for this one. Rather dark and spicy, sadly faded quickly from the vintage mini.

Take THIS ONE. The one from 2006 is nice; this one means business. Uncompromising, long-lasting masculinity. Chest hair is a must.
