It’s almost a clone of Givenchy’s Gentleman, 95% pure with just a 5% of Hugo Boss Number One. Lasts about an hour and a half initially with average projection, then drops to skin scent and transforms radically: the cannabis note emerges, turning it into a copy of Nasomatto’s Black Afgano, though without that original’s projection. It lingers on the skin for another six hours before fading. My advice is: if you like the opening, go for Gentleman; if you prefer the cannabis phase, try Black Afgano, which performs much better (though it’s expensive, or look for clones). It’s a ‘half-and-half’ fragrance: neither fully Gentleman nor fully Black Afgano. If it had been linear, it might have been better, but as a blend of both, I prefer having my two references separately to achieve a superior scent and longevity.

I bought it blind and it was worth it. Excellent quality, very well-executed blend, and super-powerful projection and sillage. I own nothing similar in my collection; it’s a very unique fragrance. For those wary of the cannabis smell, what comes through is a herbal and incense note, with no burnt grass scent; it’s more like that aroma that clings to fabrics after smoking. A masterpiece. 10/10.

I bought it blind and it was a total hit. Excellent quality, perfect blend, and projection and sillage are off the charts. I own nothing similar in my collection; it’s very unique. For those wary of the cannabis smell, here it’s herbal and incense-like, with no burnt grass scent; it’s more like that aroma that clings to fabrics after smoking. A masterpiece. 10/10.

I bought one unit and kept it tucked away as I wasn’t familiar with it, but upon trying it, I realised it’s truly worth it. It’s a rich blend of scents that looks spectacular on my skin. It’s rare, rich, elegant, and very distinguished. Recommended.
