  Starts with a fresh, acidic citrus note, likely from the ginger and black pepper blend, but that sensation vanishes in minutes to let amber take center stage. It becomes linear: a light, sweet, powdery amber, similar to Dior Homme but without that makeup or lipstick-like iris scent. It’s very soft and delicate; though classified as a men’s fragrance, it leans easily into unisex territory—say, 60% feminine and 40% masculine—so a woman would wear it without any issues. Reminded me of Ambre Fétiche, which is a much better perfume than this. I got a low trail, almost skin-only, for about 2 hours at the start, then it faded to skin scent for another 4 hours before disappearing entirely. Priced around $100 and part of the Signature Collection; if this is the brand’s best, I can’t imagine what their regular line is like, though I’ve tried Icon and Icon Elite from the standard line, which perform better, just like the Custom from this house. While the Custom also has poor longevity, it still outperforms this Signature scent. In my opinion, on a price forum, it shouldn’t cost more than $30 or $40. In short, it’s a simple, soft, common amber with nothing standout, leaving much to be desired in performance; ideal for formal or semi-formal occasions, and I think it can be worn year-round except in extremely hot climates.
