What does A Man and His Pipe smell like?

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good, though the votes are few, so these ratings are only a rough guide. It sits between masculine and feminine rather than leaning either way.

Honey absolute, tobacco absolute and oak wood absolute lead the scent, with leather and saffron adding dryness and benzoin and tonka bean adding sweetness. Civet and castoreum bring an animal depth, while cocoa absolute and whisky round it off. Woody and resinous tones dominate the accords, and the floral and fruity sides stay in the background.
