Persistence
The persistence of a fragrance is determined by how long it can be felt. It is a characteristic associated with ingredients that evaporate slowly. Persistence depends on the physical properties of the perfume ingredients—mainly their volatility and environmental factors such as temperature and humidity.
Persistence
High (5 to 12 hours)

Sillage
Imagine a light cloud of fragrance that, like an aeroplane trail, remains in the air after your appearance. This is the sillage - a subtle or vivid imprint left by the most diffuse element of a perfume composition. The sillage can be almost invisible when it is felt only by you and those around you. Or it can be so expressive that its presence is noticed even long after you have left.

Complexity and depth
The complexity of a fragrance is the number and variety of notes that create a unique composition. A complex fragrance contains many different notes that reveal themselves on the skin.

Agreed, it really does smell like a barbershop. But it's such a stylish and expensive barbershop! :) The scent can be described as fresh with light spicy notes. I think it would be perfect for men of any age ))
4/5

The tobacco here is indeed quite sharp, with a distinct bitterness. The concentration isn't too high, so it won't knock you off your feet, but only echoes of the previous scent remain. The pyramid is interesting, of course, but all that variety isn't felt - after 15-20 minutes, only a monochromatic scent remains. Overall, it's an excellent choice for a basic men's perfume )
5/5

The cologne concentration surprised with its elegance and softness compared to the eau de toilette. In the fragrance, I catch notes of garden carnation mixed with sandalwood. The opening is very fougère. Overall, it creates the atmosphere of a real barbershop
