Yesterday the bottle arrived, so I have transitioned from sample to bottle with this scent. While this one starts off very leather forward, the dry down really opens up the wood/oud/floral in a very nice and balanced way! Hope you all have a great New Years!!

This is another designer fragrance that I really liked after a couple of sprays at Macys, so I got a decant to play with for awhile. The official notes say ginger and leather, but I honestly couldn't clearly identify either of those notes. I found it fresh, light, smooth, and slightly woody in the open. It immediately felt mild, but my coworkers could smell my light scent trail after I had left an area of the office, which was surprising. That lasted about 2 hours before turning mild to the 6 hr mark. It maintains an airy, pleasant aroma, with a soft leather and woody base. Not a standout, but nice.
