It starts off sweet and spicy, a cherry cough syrup like opening, everything goes together, it's not a huge blast of vanilla or anything you can pick up without checking out the note pyramid everything is blended together in such a way nothing sticks out. The cherry cough syrup is not like if you cracked open a bottle of nyquil but it can be somewhat medicinal. If you've tried Herod by PDM or Guerlain Ideal L'Homme EDP you know what I mean. Either way the opening is the star of the show. Thankfully it isn't Paco Rabanne One Million sweet.
As it dries down you're left with this warm, bitter, stickiness where most of the sweet notes of this have disappeared. I'm no perfumer but I imagine it's just the tobacco and spices that are left. This will be a great winter fragrance due to the warmth in the dry down.
this can be unisex, cold weather, formal, date night. How much this projects I doubt it would be safe for the office. Age 30 and up.
if it wasn't for the dry down this is a 5/5, if you're a man get Parfums De Marley Herod instead.
