What does Top Shelf (Extrait de Parfum) smell like?

Tobacco absolute, leather and amber come first, while ash tree and Podocarpus totara build a dry, woody base. Civet and black musk add an animal warmth, and New Zealand ambergris softens the weight. The overall feel is green, spicy and earthy, with resinous and leathery shades alongside.

Longevity is rated very strong and sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and favour leisure time and evenings out. More voters read it as masculine, though a fair share find it feminine. Zoologist Rhinoceros and Zoologist King Cobra have a close profile.
