Slightly salty ambergris emerges in the drying, mixed with cedarwood with its characteristic pencil sharpener feel and clean, non-medicinal, or animal oud. Tobacco, spices, and leather give the oud a slightly dusty profile than the infamous skunky smell that upsets many people. What a beautiful deep and sensual trail it becomes, which is more about ambergris as it is quite present, the spiciness is still there at the end and the leather is almost out of reach, just a slight puff, it is more amber than woody at the end.

As the dry-down develops, the warmth and depth only become more prominent. This is from the slightly spicy leather and woods becoming more prevalent. The scent is a spicy woody oud-based, which immediately gives me an explosion of citrus and creamy accord. Clean, almost soapy lavender blends beautifully with sweet and sour grapefruit. The result is milky, with a pleasant barber touch. Mugwort soon takes over, and a sort of herbal and mentholated flavor blends with the persistent creaminess. That initial goodness lasts a few minutes. The performance isn’t anything to write home about. It lasts 7 hours on the skin with moderate to light projection. The first few hours, it is a pleasant scent bubble around you.In the fall and winter, this is a fantastic fragrance to wear. It wouldn’t have made my “ Best Winter Colognes” list if it wasn’t.
