About this deal
An interesting fragrance that does not project to much but it does last on clothing for more then a day. Finally, a tantalizing, vibrant woody aroma and sensual musk scent emerge, adding masculinity and uniqueness to the fragrance.
not the best out there, but it's a good all round signature scent that lasts reasonably long enough, and won't break the bank. Top notes are Grapefruit and Black Pepper; middle notes are Lavender and Sage; base notes are Sandalwood and Oakmoss. I think he uses a well known, talented perfumer and good ingredients ~ just less of them ~ if memory serves.
But again, you won't be reaching for this one on a date or a special occasion as I'm sure you have better in the collection as far as projection and longevity goes as well as depth to a scent. An emblematic piece that reflects the character of its content: serious, elegant, strong, youthful and very masculine.

Of course it has the typical modern dna of a fresh, a little sweet, woody aromatic scent BUT with a 90s vibe which i appreciate a lot. I was sticking my nose where I applied the fragrance, and on my skin was harsh, but in the air was great.

It's a fresh 'out of the shower' blue on the opening that transitions into more mature, sophisticated deep blue territory as time goes on. Not entirely original, but as I stated before I think it stands on its own and definitely draws positive attention. I recomend it for people that have a small collection, people that need a "dumb reach" fragrance that smells good and masculine, and for people that like grabbing "under the radar" cheap gems, like me.
