Don envisions the idea of ultra-masculine and rugged symbols of the mafia. It’s a fairly simple and linear scent, with the main players being a dry, smoky tobacco paired with a sharp whiskey. In the background, gunpowder adds even more smokiness while the sugar brings a touch of sweetness. This fragrance is pleasant and probably great for tobacco-lovers out there, but personally I find the quality is lacking here - a pattern I see emerging from quite a few of Xerjoff’s JTC fragrances. The notes just seem a bit synthetic and cheap to me, and aren’t blended together all that well. At some points during the fragrance’s life, it reminds me of Penhaligons Halfeti slightly - but not nearly as good. Overall this isn’t a bad scent but it’s not worth the price Xerjoff is asking for, it’s pleasant at best but that’s all it has to offer in my opinion.
