SEXY caramel, gourmand without too much sweetness. The cardamom and caramel are most of what I get, but I am sensing a hint of the tobacco underneath, adding a little dryness and preventing it from going too buttery and saccharine. Doesn't morph much on the dry down but the throw is definitely low, as seems to be the consensus. Even so, it's so beautiful I'm tempted to pick up a full bottle. Smells like a beautiful woman standing eating a piece of butterscotch - what's not to love?

Light, sophisticated, spicy, and gin-forward on initial application. An interesting aquatic quality for a second there. A gender-affirming scent for a sophisticated gentleman - the kind of aesthete I would want to be as a man.

The dry-down is a bit of a letdown, with massive falloff in presence and settling into a vetiver funk that isn't my favorite thing in the world, but still really pleasant. I won't be getting rid of my sample, but won't be buying a full size.
