Its longevity and sillage are rated strong, though the small number of votes makes this a tendency rather than a firm verdict. Its dense, warm profile sits comfortably on anyone, whatever the gender.
Virginia, Havana and Perique tobaccos and cigar-box cedar are joined by acacia honey, Bourbon vanilla and cocoa. Rum and plum add a fruity sweetness, while smoke and amber ground it in an earthy, resinous base.
