I was going to wait till NYE but wasn’t sure what to expect so I test drove it today. This is one that lets people know your there, but not in an obvious way. More of a purposeful nudge. This opens with a metallic, raw gunpowder and whiskey blast. It settles down slowly to a tobacco and leather that settles on the skin. This fragrance doesn’t rush. It takes its time to settle into the sweet resinous form that hangs longer than expected. It’s a relatively simple frag that stays mysteriously complex through the wear. This gives a good 8+ hours. Perfect for cold weather. I highly recommend this, but I wouldn’t necessarily blind buy.
