Our verdict on Alter Ego 786: Acquired

A divisive one, this. There's a lot to like if you're into fruity oud leathers and can ignore that initial comparison to Ombré Nomade. Fans love its rich, woody dry down, but beware: one sniff could leave you craving chips, apparently.

Its bold leather and oud accords make it a bit much for the office but perfect for dates and evening events. While the performance is initially strong, it becomes more intimate in the dry down, making it versatile for sophisticated casual wear once it settles.

About

Opens with a bold, fruity kick of raspberry, spiced up with saffron and cinnamon, quickly ushering in a robust leather and oud heart. This strong start mellows into a sophisticated, woody dry down, where cedar and sandalwood provide a smooth, elegant base, softened by lingering hints of its initial fruitiness and leathery depth.
