Fresh, citrusy, zesty (tangerine, bergamot, ginger), spicy, aromatic opening Citrus-Tobacco-Leather blend Very masculine, mature, but still versatile Good projection and sillage Not overwhelming or overpowering Perfect of the office and best for casual to semi-formal occasions Great for year round wear Subtle tobacco (green leaf), leather-nuanced, earthy, woody dry down This is not the heavy, smoky type of tobacco note.. Classic clear glass Creed bottle; excellent wide-span atomizer Moderate longevity on skin and on clothes Very discernible for 2-3 hours and then becomes a skin scent for another 2-3 hours Good overall performance I highly recommend Tabarome Millesime ⭐⭐⭐⭐ I rate it as such for actual smell, refined quality and luxurious feel.. Sophisticated-Elegant-Invigorating... Timeless A classy fougere fragrance that is not sharp and harsh.. I am wondering how the original formulation/vintage bottle smelled and how it performs compared to this one..

I’ve been wearing Boss Bottled Absolu on and off all week, and I’ve come to a conclusion that might shock some of you: I actually like BBA more than Carlisle. I know, I know—Carlisle has been my all-time favorite PdM, but there is something about this Boss Absolu that is just hitting different. It’s dark, rich, and sophisticated without the "PdM Tax." Honestly, I’m calling it right now: BBA is my #1 fragrance of this Fall/Winter season. No doubt about it. My decant is almost dry, and a full bottle is definitely happening next. Tuesday Face-Off Video: I’m putting these two head-to-head to explain exactly why this $125 designer is outclassing the $400 niche giant. Stay tuned for that one! In the meantime, am I crazy? Or has anyone else smelled this and realized Boss actually created a masterpiece here?
