On a personal note, I don't really like too many boozy fragrances, especially focused on malty/malt whisky effects. This is very malty in the opening, almost unpleasantly so. In fact, I plain don't like this fragrance. Just saying. I get the play of whisky and leather, it works but moreso for me in 'thinner' compositions like Gold leather by atelier cologne this thing is thick, grainy and textured with malt, which some will like. It's not particularly smooth or crowd pleasing which again might give it more brownie points with the hardcore enthusiasts but not with me. It's whisky but this is more bells than Oban, it's just a little rough. Interesting that it's compared to midnight stroll here which does have a turbulent opening settling to a leather/incense for me and that's not quite what's going on in this perfume for me. perhaps I need to revisit both and see?
