I like the scent, it’s powdery but in a non-feminine leaning way for men. It’s not a beast mode scent that Amouage is know for. This is probably an appropriate duration for longevity and silage but disappointing if you come to expect more. I don’t know if I would buy again unless I get it for a steal, but happy I do have it in the collection.

Clean open but then the spice kicks in. At first thought it was like any other freshie, especially with the bottle design, but then suddenly you get a warm, spice bomb.

To me this is a great alternative to Altheir, as you get that cinnamon/almond scent off the top and the longevity sticks with you. I put this scent on at 7:30am and can still smell it off and on at 2:30pm. It sees less scratchy and refined than PDM.

I really, really like this scent. You get some oud but not in an overpowering sense. I can smell it but it’s faint, so silage and longe don’t hold up for me. I bought this from a discounter so I don’t feel so bad. However, if you like to reapply or wear something different later in the day, this could be for you.

I have to spray a good deal of it to last, but it’s a fantastic scent.
