Needed a perfect follow up, to my earlier test sprays of Iris Obsidian. Another cool weather banger that you can go heavy on in the outdoors. A couple cigars and like 20 sprays of MB😁 Surprised with this much on, I didn't go up in flames when I lit my cigar😂

Spicy (pink pepper), apple (tartsy, sour), bit floral, (rose) aromatic opening then the Smoky, tobacco, subtle oud nuances take over Very potent, powerful and intense Very masculine, mature, bold, commanding fragrance Great projection and sillage May not be appropriate for the office (except for the boss) but great of formal nights out Great for Fall and Winter Leather, still smoky, earthy, woody, ashy dry down Heavy cylindrical glass bottle, black plastic cap, great atomizer Great longevity Very prominent for 4-5 hours and stays long as a skin scent for 5-6 more hours Great overall performance I would highly recommend the FM Promise ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It is not a safe blind buy and it's not for the faint of heart.. @Steve Louis sent me a decant of Oud Aquilaria by Omanluxury and testing them side by side.. IMO: Oud Aquilaria is more approachable, more complex and less linear.. OA transitions to other nuances other than smoky-tobacco-leather-spice of the Promise.. the apple and rose is slightly more prominent in OA.. OA is sexy while the Promise is bossy..
