Most voters pick fall and winter, then spring, and it leans towards evenings and nights out. Longevity and sillage are rated good, and it reads as masculine and modern. Salvatore Ferragamo Uomo Signature and Parfums de Marly Eragon have a close profile.
It opens with almond, bergamot and pink pepper; the almond brings sweetness while the bergamot and pepper lighten it. Heliotrope, cinnamon and plum then add a fruity, creamy warmth. The base of tobacco, patchouli, cedar and leather settles into a woody, leathery ground.
