So I took advantage of the Jomashop PdM sale and grabbed Herod and Layton which arrived as I was leaving to run out. Went out and hit a local store in Lancaster Pa. and grabbed the Mancera Red Tobacco for me and Xerjoff Apollonia for the wife. Today was a good day.

Shout out to my Brother @Nick Clemente for sending me a sample of this fragrance. The opening is a very strong spicy fragrance (coming from the Timur) with the Ambroxan pushing the scent out quite intensely. At 15 minutes the intense spicy accords have settled down and the fragrance is not as overpowering but still quite spicy and aromatic. At 30 minutes I am now starting to pick up some of the green accords from the Basil along with some of the dry woods. 60 minutes into the wear the fragrance has completely settled down but still has a spicy and woody scent profile that wears like a Fougere / Chypre fragrance. This seems to be the dry down of the fragrance because I am not picking up any additional changes. The performance of this fragrance is good with a longevity of 8+ hours on my skin. Projection is strong for about the first 3 hours creating a scent bubble of about 3 feet. Sillage is beast mode with a scent trail of over 4 feet for almost 3 hours.
