Smells strongly of honey and caramel, but the leather, herbal, and citrus notes are very muted; it gives off a more feminine vibe. If you’re looking for something masculine, try Man in Black, Ombre Leather, or Oud Noire instead.

At first, it seems like a serious, complex, high-quality scent, like a blend of Kemi’s sweet oud and Black Phantom. The dry down is balm, leather, a touch of sweetness, earth, and a green base from laurel and pepper; everything is perfectly balanced. Over time, it evolves into tobacco, jacket leather, and honey. It’s not heavy, the balance is flawless, and it envelops you. Projection and longevity are high with constant sillage. Hard to categorize: sweet, fresh, and with a dirty edge. Definitely worth trying.
