Instance Opening - Pleasant Drydown
On first application, I thought I had spilled an ashtray. The cigarette/cigar/whisky was so strong. And, to me, not pleasant. If you want to make a very male statement, go ahead, but otherwise....
Wear it until it dry downs. Then it's a whole different scent. The tobacco substantially tones down (at least for me), and it becomes much more of a soft woody oak-y leather over a slightly sweet base. Something I could wear, but it just doesn't thrill me much. Perhaps I'd liken it to the sweetness of bourbon, particularly when compared to scotch. As though bourbon new make barrels give it an oaky-sweetness vibe. It's not synthetic smelling, and like most Vilhelm scents, well done. In the end, it was pleasant but not a scent for me.
