Big strong manly strong man, but make it deluxe
I had mixed expectations coming in. People said this smelt like a stable, but I had liked it in my paper test. I tried 2 sprays and immediately got whacked with a burst of coffee, whiskey, tobacco, and greenery that was unexpected but welcome. I have never been hit so hard by a first spray and I felt self conscious exiting the bathroom due to the intensity of the smell.
As it dried down, however, it morphed into a deliciously exquisite smell that smells of incense, leather, and tobacco, oud, and patchouli, that was just so manly. It felt like I had came out of a bonfire into a cigar club. I found myself enjoying the fragrance all day long and reapplying in the evening. It is "classic" and "outdated", but it is amazing at doing what it wants to do.
As strong as it was, the performance was not quite matching – it lasted less than its projection might’ve led me to believe, but still an easy 8+ hours.
I cannot recommend this fragrance enough if you are someone who is OK with standing out and projecting a very classic, gentlemanly aura. Might save up for a birthday present for myself, although that extra $35 compared to other Zoologist juices is felt.
