As it dries down, I start picking up more of the spices and woody notes, which give it a lot of depth without making it feel too heavy. It smells classy, but not in a way that feels like you’re trying too hard.

The performance has been great for me. A few sprays in the morning are enough to last well into the evening, and I’ve had a couple of compliments while wearing it, especially on nights out.

I probably wouldn’t wear it on a really hot summer day, but for fall, winter, or evenings, it’s hard to beat. If you like warm, masculine fragrances with a tobacco note that’s smooth rather than overpowering, this one is definitely worth trying. It’s one of those bottles I’ll always want to have in my collection.
