Opens up very smokey and woody, very powerful and masculine, after which you pick up subtle fruits such as the pineapple, blackcurrant and green apple. For the first couple hours the scent has a sour vibe, which might be from the apple. As the scent develops, it becomes sweeter and the fruity notes start becoming more prominent, with the woodiness in the background. On my skin it's starts off smokey and woody, but becomes sweeter as the scent develops, with the pineapple being more prominent in the drydown. gentle vanilla helping with the sweetness in the drydown.
Its not massively complex scent, but its so incredibly pleasing. Its by far one of the best smelling scents out there, its truly intoxicating.
Incredibly versatile, great for both day or night (mostly day for me), and would work great for every season, though best suited to the warmer months. Versatile in terms of occasions too, can be used for pretty much any occasion, swiss army knife fragrance, suitable for work, date, night out, formal and casual.
Performance is outstanding for a fragrance of this type, for a warm weather fragrance, the longevity around 10 hours with excellent projection is fantastic which is one of the reasons why it can be used all year round, as its strong enough to cut through the cold.
People will notice you with this fragrance, like I've said projection is excellent and so is sillage. Been complimented at work, by family and friends. I did get one comment that it was very strong, someone a few feet away from me could smell it. Someone else at work commented that their former boss used to wear it, in her words "drowned himself in it". Received many compliments regarding this scent.
Negative popularity, which makes it quite annoying, I rarely smell fragrances when i'm out but I have smelt this at restaurants, at the gym and at shisha lounges.
Overall rating is 5/5.
