A gourmet, sweet, amber, and woody fragrance that reminds me of Mugler’s A*Men, YSL’s Body Kouros, and Rochas Man. As Trey Welsh says, the projection and longevity are short: about four hours on the skin and a bit longer on clothes. Perfect for romantic dates or personal use after a shower, a lazy afternoon at home, or before bed. Unlike the other three, which are heavier and longer-lasting, this is light and pleasant for any nose. The bottle doesn’t come with an atomizer, it’s a cologne, and costs about $6 for 168 ml.
The packaging is exactly what you’d expect for this price. The bottle is generic, with no engravings or textures, just the name in simple letters on the plastic cap, and the atomizer isn’t impressive either (Mexico version). It has a linear development: starts with spices over cardamomo for a warm opening, then a woody accord with prominent patchouli, and finishes aromatic as it dries down. Longevity and projection are brief; it fades quickly on the skin. For the price, it’s a good buy for post-shower use, at home, or before bed. Works year-round, though you need to apply more in cold weather. An excellent option to vary your collection for the $3 I paid.
