What does Cognac Reign smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, though the vote counts are small, so these figures are only a rough guide. Its warm, dense build is likely to sit best in cooler weather, and it reads neither strictly masculine nor feminine. With tonka bean and oak in its base, its profile is close to Jo Malone Myrrh & Tonka (Cologne Intense) and Private Mood Vanille et Cognac.

It opens with caramelized bergamot and aged wood. In the heart, cognac and orris concrete settle the sweetness onto a powdery, creamy footing. The base of tonka bean and oak dries down resinous and smoky.
