Escobar's Burnt Limousine

It was a blind buy due to the great ratings and because I usually really like Tom Fords. Freshly unboxed, I sprayed it on my wrist and found it absolutely disgusting at first. However, in the drydown, it somehow got to me, the Tom. The addictive potential probably comes from the fact that the scent - as Drake has already noted - smells very intensely of cocaine (too intense). In addition, there is harsh smoke and rough leather, but the chemical coke smell simply overpowers everything for me (including the often-mentioned raspberry) and already gives me a headache with just one spray. After two hours, I not only smell burnt, I also feel that way. Even though I now quite like the idea of the scent itself, it is all just too intense/chemical/smoky for me, making it ultimately rather unbearable in the long run.

EDIT: I quite like it now for layering, as it gives delicate or sweet scents a masculine kick. I also find it less terrible on its own now, and I can even sometimes perceive the raspberry. Upgraded +1

EDIT 2: Leather seems to be something you have to "learn." I really like it now. :)

Thank you so much for the edits, they were truly invaluable. And I don’t just mean that figuratively. You have to layer it! On its own, it’s incredibly intoxicating; it’s my first evening with the Tuscan buddy.
I’ve now mixed the way-too-sweet Pure Havane, which I had already set aside, with TL, and I’m letting the mixture settle in. Let’s see.
But the idea of giving the 'lighter', 'sweeter' scents that special kick is the aha moment I just had that really matters.

To be honest? At first, it really does smell like that. It needs time to develop.

@Fortis Thanks :) I'm just (not yet?) not a leather/smoke fan... but I'll keep it, maybe I'll grow into this type of scent ;)

Burnt earth in the spirit of creating ruins without weapons.
Still, a little trophy for your honest opinion.
