Sexy, animalic and masculine - but only for a short while
Bear is one of those fragrances where you'd wish there'd be a stop button for the dry down. In the beginning, you get an awesome, animalic, furry, masculine spicy scent with a touch of sweetness. As it dries down, it dials far back. Yes, leathery, woody, spicy and animalic, but no where near the start. Really too bad. Dries down into the ho-hums; nothing I'd want to buy a FB of.
Longevity for me was quite good; got about 10 hours out of it. But it quickly dries down into a moderate projection and then a comfortable, close scent bubble - essentially a skin scent that lasts.
