Longevity and projection are rated good, though the number of votes is small, so this is only a rough guide. It is classed as a men's fragrance.
As a whole the scent reads woody and leathery. Leather and cedar form the core, pepper adds a spicy edge, and rose and citrus notes soften it a little. Musk stays in the background, and together with the sweet, powdery and resinous accords it gives an oriental warmth. Celine Reptile and Bvlgari Bvlgari Black have a similar profile.
