This is a fun and complex fragrance. It can be a lot to take in. I respect it, and I enjoy it in the air on someone else (my friend at work I sold it to). There is one thing though…in high heat there is a powdery honeyed sweetness that comes out in the base and ruins it for me. The honeyed tobacco/incense/lavender are to me the main notes that stand out the most. Any real fragrance enthusiast NEEDS to at least try this one out.
