As someone rocking around 80 or so colognes currently, I have a pretty good nose for fine scents. I have to admit, I researched it a little first, online, seeing what the youtube fragrance reviewers were saying. It was generally a thumbs up across the board, so i “blind-bought” it, hoping it was good. I wasn’t disappointed. A beautiful fragrance, masculine,smokey. Hints of vanilla or toffee or creamy caramel. I am wearing it today,actually, even though it is more of a fall/winter scent, could be a bit cloying in the high summer heat, but for cooler nights it’s fine.Not for the mid 20’s kids clubbing, more for the mid 30’s and up, enjoying a whiskey in a nice armchair. A smokey, creamy,full smelling scent, one of the best “blind buys” i’ve made. Price is right, bottle is nice, looks “niche”. Smells really masculine and sweet and creamy and smokey. All in all a great all around purchase. Fans of bvlgari man in black, rasasi tasmeem, armani code profumo,etc., will probably enjoy this a lot also.
