Starts with a burst of sweet plum and tobacco. Develops into a warm, sweet and spicy scent with a hint of gentle cooling mintyness. It’s NOT a realistic, herbacious, barbershop mint - rather, it’s a drop of menthol-y coolness. There is something about this blend of vanilla, cocoa, spices and dried fruits with a minty note that reminds me of gingerbread cookies with mint icing, the ones shaped like teddy bear heads.
If you expected something like "The One for Men (Eau de Parfum) | Dolce & Gabbana" or Jazz Club that is not what you’re getting here. It’s very sweet in a somewhat edible way, tobacco and wood aren’t all that prominent, no amber. Not exactly my taste but it smells fairly unique. It’s cozy. I’ll wear my samples around Christmas but will not be going for a full bottle.
