This is my first wear of this new release by ATH, part of his Infinite Darkness collection. It goes on sweet, and aromatic. The neroli and saffron seem to provide a rich floral sweetness, that soaks into the mid with warm cardamom, sandalwood, vanilla and tonka. There's a smooth tobacco/oud note that gives the fragrance a little masculine edge also. I was concerned that the civet would be too animalic, but it's not at all. This is a very rich, sensual fragrance that maintains something a little aromatic for about 1 1/2 hours. Projection is moderate for a couple of hours, then becomes mild. A little body heat would keep the sillage alive, but with just spraying on my arms, it's lighter than I expected. I might wear this to work, just to test it under a dress shirt on my chest and arms. Have a great night brothers! Top Notes: Black pepper, Neroli, Saffron. Heart Notes: Nutmeg, Cardamom, Tobacco. Base Notes: Sandalwood, Civet, Frankincense, Thai oud, Tonka bean absolute, Vanilla absolute.

This was a very special week as I was able to spend the week with my wife, kids, and grandkids at Disney for a few days, while we also celebrated my son's birthday and my wedding anniversary. A few days at EPCOT and some gifts from my family made this haul special. - Bvlgari Le Gemme Tygar - Guerlain Herbes Troublantes - Acqua di Parma Arancia di Capri Le Riserva - Penhaligon's Legacy of Petra - Penhaligon's The World According to Arthur - Penhaligon's The Omniscient Mr. Thompson - Bond No 9 Tribeca - Creed Virgin Island Water - Guerlain Allegra Magnifying Neroli Essence Special Thank You to @Dave Anderson and @Jamal Moore
