went into this expecting a very heavy, spicy scent based on what I’d heard, but I found it to be much more of a subdued spice. It has a good amount of kick to it, but it’s not over the top or aggressive. It is a bit of a divisive fragrance in the community and definitely isn't what I would call "mass appealing," but I actually quite enjoy it.
The performance is okay so far, though it doesn't seem to have a lot of projection or leave a big trail. It stays fairly close to the skin, which makes it feel like more of a personal fragrance that I wear for my own enjoyment. I’m having a hard time pinning down exactly where I’d wear this in public—it doesn't quite fit a suit or a casual t-shirt—but it’s a decent, enjoyable scent nonetheless. I'm interested to see if the performance improves as the bottle sits and matures over time.
