The fragrance is heavy, dark, strong, clearly masculine. Towards the middle, it softens slightly with sweetish smoky resins and vanilla, but without losing its leathery beginning. Orange blossom, vetiver, and moss are not yet audible. Or they are too deeply hidden. In general, it creates the image of a resin-soaked piece of wood, steeped in expensive rum and left in the sun. Night falls, the wood cools, and this is the scent I feel on my wrist. I really liked it. Now I need to figure out where to wear it, but the desire to wear it is there. It's interesting, rich, and unusual.
This perfume is not for everyone. I can't imagine it on a woman or a young man. This is a fragrance for a strong, brutal man. A macho, without excessive sweetness. I'll add more later, after it fully develops. Let's see how it all ends.
UPD. After four hours, the scent on the skin resembles the base of two perfumes - Mickel for Man by Michael Kors and Laudano Nero by Tiziana Terenzi. Slightly smoked wood, sweetish echoes of resins and tobacco, but tar and cognac are no longer audible. The brutality is gone, what remains is warm, woody-spicy
