How does it perform?

Holds up through the day and fades gently toward evening.
Leaves a light trail and stays polite in a crowd.
Sits nicely on a shelf.
The price makes you think, so a small size is a smart start.

What does The Grudge smell like?
Longevity is good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick autumn and spring, and it leans towards leisure and evening wear. Voters read it as more masculine, followed by modern.
It opens with vermouth, frankincense and copal resin. The heart moves to calamus, seagrass and tea, where the aquatic and green side comes through. The base of tobacco, oud, oakmoss, musk, ambergris and labdanum absolute settles into an earthy, animalic, smoky ground.
