I found this in a box I’d been storing for years; the packaging looks terrible. Right out of the bottle, it smells synthetic and a bit chaotic, but once it dries down, it’s a perfect delight for everyday wear—ideal for uni or the office.

To be honest, I don’t detect any smoke or leather notes; instead, it smells herbal, aromatic, and woody. I’m not sure if I got a reformulation since the liquid color is darker than before. For the price, it’s worth it and smells great, though the longevity is moderate. Best used at night when it’s not too hot.

A soft woody scent, perfect for elegant everyday wear. It lasted all day, and I recommend it.
