It starts off sweet, it then progresses into this powdery and spicy nutmeg and finishes off quite smooth. I couldn't stop smelling my wrist the first time I tried this when I got a larger order of fragrances recently and I liked this a lot more than I thought I would how unique it is.
The use nutmeg is FAR from going to your spice rack and sniffing a jar of it. The sharp edges were taken away with all the other notes used in this. I would never have thought in a million years this had any in it until I read the note pyramid on fragrantica.
The leather isn't like tuscan leather or ombre leather strong but it's there. I don't get any cumin at all thankfully as I find cumin usually can ruin fragrances for me. That being said "Rock" is a fragrance I can't find anything wrong with so I'll happily wear this.
I can see this being a dumb reach for someone who is into sweet fragrances. It can be an every day fragrance. Is it my favorite Viktorinox fragrance? Probably not but I do appreciate it for what it is. I feel if one of Quentin Bisch's other employers such as Parfums De Marley put this out with an extra zero in the price tag it would have sold way better as I didn't know this existed until purchasing it. There was so little to go by about his on google or "social" media.
I'm certainly not expecting this to fill a room or last 12+ hours with a sensible amount of sprays but for the price of a tester on discounters. It's like a daytime version of Armani Code EDP (2024) due to all the nutmeg. Possibly a more wearable version of Fragrance World Rifaqaat (YSL babycat). Though this is far from Middle Eastern smelling
