Its strong projection and unmistakable vintage character, particularly the prominent tobacco, make it too assertive for office wear, despite some finding it suitable. However, its bold masculinity suits casual outings, and can make a distinguished statement on a date or in a casual evening setting. It's too heavy for sport.

About

Opens with a sharp, invigorating burst of citrusy bergamot and lemon, softened by a classic lavender. This promptly deepens into a herbaceous heart of sage and thyme, evoking a dry, aromatic earthiness. The real character emerges in the base, where a prominent, almost ashy tobacco note melds with earthy vetiver and patchouli, creating a smoky, slightly soapy, and undeniably masculine finish.
