The One Tester

I see why women love it, because it is edible without it beeing sweet. Its somehow manly, without being sweet, spicy, leathery or anything similar. I guess amber is the main thing you can feel, with everything else ( grapefruit, tobaco etc) being there in background but being so nicely blended that you cant differentiate it. You can easily wear this in summer night because it is not so long lasting, and its projection is bad. Longevity is 2-3 hours max. So this is for some special, intimate things. I also like to wear it sometimes in office, even in summer because again it fades away in few hours so you cant offend anyone. Once more, when it comes to smell its one of the best smells out there. Even I as a man really do understand why women love this. It is one of thoose things that literally makes them crazy and making them "wanting to try this", whatever that is.

very light citrusy opening and a bit spicy from the ginger/cardamom. Quickly turns into a sweet sexy smell that’s also light and airy. Almost like a “lavendery” powder vibe , I can picture a warm breeze or something. It’s not a typical thick sweet scent, it’s sweet yet still light and fresh. I can’t stop smelling it, it’s magnificent! I don’t get any tobacco just the amber and cedar. Like the other reviews reverberate, I can tell it’s not going to be a huge performer. 3 sprays on my hand and I have to get close to smell it after 30 minutes or so but it’s so good! I don’t like wearing super loud fragrances, I don’t want to be “that guy” and choke people out of a room. I like the scents you smell when walking by a person, going in for a hug, cuddling on the couch. Time will tell if it’s worth a full purchase but for now I am definitely enjoying it!

This is my absolute favorite of all time. It is fleeting and is not a projection monster. Not even a compliment monster. Maybe it’s not for all. But what does it for me is the boozy note. I know it’s not listed and you’re not gonna find that with the new renditions. Yes I’m talking about the original!!! Reformulation should be illegal. Just get a new bottle and have AI generate a name for it for Christ sake. So I know there is no booze notes but it must be the tobacco, citrus, amber and cedar. The way it’s blended. I just can’t find something similar nor has the professional dupe houses been able to recreate. I guess I should go snag some back up bottles. Take this as a review for the original edp. 2026 edp and Parfum are nice. I’ll leave a review for them as I get more time but it does not fill the original for me.

Tis the season, boys! A backup bottle worthy fragrance, especially at around the 50-60 dollar mark, which is what I paid for my back up bottles. Those on the fence about longevity, I don't think should worry much about it. The subtlety after the dry down is nice, especially if you're not trying to blast everyone in the room with perfume. I've had people compliment me hours after application, and I only ever spray a couple on my chest under my shirt and a spray on my left shirt sleeve. Now that it is discontinued, it is even a better reason to have it on the shelf, especially for a great price. It's a classic. I happen to like it better than the new release/formulation.

Date night in a bottle. Still worth getting even if you have the new parfum. It contrasts these deep, dark, creamy tobacco and amber accords with a bright and refreshing grapefruit, cardamom, and ginger combo. Imagine being on a date with a cute girl sitting across from you in a nice, dimly lit restaurant. The two of you are getting to know each other over a glass of the most finely aged wine around while you wait patiently for your food, cooked by one of the best chefs for 1,000 miles. That's what this smells like to me. One of the sexiest fragrances I have smelled and still a masterpiece despite the performance.
