Share what you noticed: opening, drydown, sillage and the moments when it works for you.
It’s almost a clone of Givenchy’s Gentleman, 95% pure with a 5% of Hugo Boss Number One. Lasts about an hour and a half initially with average projection, then fades to skin-level and transforms radically: the cannabis note kicks in, turning it into a copy of Nasomatto’s Black Afgano, though without that original’s massive projection. It lingers on the skin for another 6 hours before fading. My advice: if you love the opening, go for Gentleman; if you prefer the cannabis phase, grab Black Afgano, which performs much better (though it’s pricey, or look for clones). It’s a ‘half-and-half’ fragrance: neither fully Gentleman nor fully Black Afgano. If it were linear, it might be better, but since it’s a blend of both, I’d rather have my two references separately to achieve a superior scent and longevity.
Bought it blind and it was a total hit. Excellent quality, perfect blend, and projection and sillage are off the charts. I own nothing like it in my collection; it’s very unique. For those who fear the cannabis smell, here it’s herbal and incense-like, not burnt grass; it’s more like that scent that clings to fabrics after smoking. A masterpiece. 10/10.
Bought it blind and it was worth it. Excellent quality, very well-executed blend, and super powerful projection and sillage. I own nothing like it in my collection; it’s a very unique fragrance. For those who fear the cannabis smell, what you get is a herbal and incense note, nothing like burnt grass; it’s more like that aroma that clings to fabrics after smoking. A masterpiece. 10/10.
Bought one unit and had it tucked away because I didn’t know it, but once I tried it, I realized it’s truly worth it. It’s a rich blend of scents that looks spectacular on my skin. It’s rare, rich, elegant, and very distinguished. Highly recommended.
