The wood that I feel in it is noble, dry and interesting with each movement as it merges with the bright aroma of Tonka that once again, to my nostrils, refers to a niche perfumery aroma. Unfortunately after I got COVID I never completely recovered and some fragrances give me a “dirty old wet rag” smell which completely ruins them, and this was one of the victims (others that come to mind afe Paco Rabanne Invictus, Dior Sauvage, the Valentino Uomo line, etc.

However, wearing this you have a great Leather and Vanilla combo that the ladies absolutely love and can't get enough of. And measure for yourself, if you notice it's weak increase the sprays, if overpowering decrease your sprays. Get Bentley Intense if you want a similarly boozy leather fragrance or The One if you want something generally autumnal.The combination of Leather and Whiskey makes this a great masculine fragrance that smells like a real man.

Solid 9/10 fragrance, masculine sweetness with a twist on the whiskey notes and very noticeable leather. Despite this not being the genre of fragrance that I like it is definitely pleasant and one that I think most people would find enjoyable. If you in your teens and 20's and have some extra money to spend then go for it but i would say save your money and add an extra 20 bucks and get acqua di gio profumo. Considering all the hype here, it's probably just my skin chemistry that completely rejects this fragrance. Anyway, my initial impression was that CH Men was a nice enough scent, but it was way too sweet (toothache sugar sweet) for me and the light-leather accord was too soft and subtle for me to love it.

It actually reminds me of some of the middle eastern scents I often try, as the leather note is kind of like a polite oud to me. I did get the brand new formulation and I can agree with most people that the scent doesn't last too long. If it were any sweeter, my wife would have claimed it as her prized possession, just like Thierry Mugler's A-men which has a very similar scent profile. But i will tell you this right now it still is up their when women ask me and or comment about what i'm wearing. After it settles the sugar isn't as strong and I start to pickup hints of leather with a slight spicy undertone probably still coming from the nutmeg.
