What does To My Father smell like?
Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, and night out, leisure and evening are the occasions it leans towards. It is classed as a men's fragrance.
It opens with bitter orange, ambrette seed and davana, which give a fruity brightness. Juniper, whisky and cabreuva form the heart, and oak, white oud and leather pull the base towards woody, resinous and smoky tones. Sweet, gourmand touches soften the spicy, oriental character. Borntostandout Smokin' Gun and Atelier Cologne Gold Leather have a close profile.
