Scent Depot Score™
Very good
Strong category choiceA crisp green-apple opening leads quickly into a pepper–sage heart and settles on a warm, resinous base of benzoin, tobacco leaf, patchouli and amberwood. Expect moderate longevity (many report ~6–7 hours) with early stronger projection that dries down closer to the skin; experiences vary by batch and wearer. Overall character is sweet-fruity with warm tobacco in the dry-down, more suited to cooler weather and evenings than summer daytime.
