    By now in 2021, it’s hard to find, but I managed to grab the EDP version last year at a good price. I absolutely love it. Yes, it opens with a touch of cinnamon and pepper, but soon the slightly powdery pipe tobacco note shines through, thanks to the musk. The scent is relaxing and comforting for before bed, though I also imagine it’s perfect for a romantic dinner.

    By now in 2021, it’s hard to find this fragrance; I grabbed the EDP last year at a great price. I absolutely love it: it opens with a hint of cinnamon and pepper, but soon the slightly powdery pipe tobacco note takes over, which I think is the musk doing its thing. It smells relaxing and comforting—perfect for bedtime, though I can also see myself wearing it to a romantic dinner.

  3. You’re right, I didn’t like it. That pepper note overwhelmed me—heavy and murky—and combined with the tobacco, which I also don’t care for, it was a mistake. They say it’s unisex, but I’d stick with the original Eau Parfum.

    I love it. I only notice the pipe tobacco scent, which is what fascinates me the most. It feels very masculine and utterly charming. I’ve already bought the perfume oil for bedtime; it relaxes me, it’s comforting and cozy. I’m not ruling out buying the eau de parfum too, for staying in at home with a cup of tea.
