The tobacco fragrances battle between Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille and Parfums De Marly Herod. Which one is your wins? My win is Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille because it has more projection, sillage is louder, and if you put this on the clothing you will smell it for multiple days.

I’ve been wondering what the general consensus is from the brotherhood regarding content in a SOTD post. Do you expect a full review with note break down, longevity, etc? Is someone just sharing their scent good enough? I don’t mind either way but there is a category for reviews so that had me wondering? Looking forward to everyone’s thoughts. Have a great day!

Think I've finished off another line with this one, well of the available releases. Came out last year, a creation of three perfumers, Honorine Blanc, Sophie Labbé & Clémentine Girard created this latest addition to the Azzaro line. I was initially annoyed with this one, guess that's why it took so long for me to pull the trigger here. The reason being, that gorgeous Raspberry in the opening says hello and then just as quick it fecka right off again. What you are left with after this is a rather good Leather scent that's not trying to copy the Ombre winning formula. It does it's own thing, much like V&R did the previous year with Dark Leather. Once I quit sulking over the raspberry, I was able to enjoy this for what it is. A fruity/woody/leather that won't upset anyone s despite the elixir tag. Maybe I'm wrong, is an elixir, not supposed to kick your front door down and scream in a death metal growl to announce it's arrival? Ok maybe not, but I would expect elixr to pack a bigger punch. At the top you get that stunning raspberry extract that passes like a stranger in the night, it's a tart red fruity vibe that is balanced by the citrus freshness of green mandarin and bergamot. At its heart, is moves into contrasting Aromatic warmth with some additional spice. Cardamom Heart, Clary Sage and Lavandin Oil fill the ranks with the Spicey cardamon being balanced by the herbal notes of Sage & lavender. The foundation is where the fragrance gains its depth and power. The dominant eather accord intertwines with the earthy, smoky vetiver and the deep, resinous woody note of Wolfwood, creating a very enjoyable dry down. The leather accord is somewhat remonisant of an ME style of leather, but it works very well. Despite the fleeting raspberry and false implications of an elixir what you get is more a seven hour fragrance that projects well for the first two before stepping. Back to a more intimate scent bubble. Another fragrance that will work amazingly well in the cold. Good for date nights evenings out. It's the only one of my Azzaros that I got in a 50ml, so when I eventually run dry I will upgrade to the larger one, and yes the all gold bottle is tacky as hell.

Finally got a hold of a full bottle of this one. Big shout out to my mother, this was a Christmas gift from her. I’ve been wanting this for over two years now, and have been struggling on the last licks of my decant when I first saw the note breakdown of the scent, I did not think I would like it because I’m not a huge fan of vanilla. But after getting my nose on it, I changed my mind. The sweetness is blended in such a good way along with the spicy undertones, I would say it leans more mature, but a younger guy can pull this off, especially on a date night. Dark and mysterious, yet sophisticated!
