Smelling this on a test strip at Gatsby's Pike Place Market booth, the initial blast of smoked wood is potent, but quite nice. It mellows out with the dry down, with the smoke settling and a light touch of rose and leather coming through. A really nice fall/winter choice, especially for those who enjoy smoky scents a la T-rex, LiTA, etc. This was an Art and Olfaction Awards Honorable Mention in 2024.
