Not your daddy's woody perfume
The first 10 minutes are not easy. The varnish opening is pungent and strange, almost chemical... but it works. It's unlike anything else on the market, it's sensual and unique. Then the drydown is more classic, the dark and fine woods make it more elegant and classic. Signature material.
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend to a friend.
