This perfume opened the doors to the world of fragrances for me. Unfortunately, it’s no longer available and used to cost a fortune, but I eventually managed to get a bottle. At first, I tried it as a decant and preferred it to the full bottle; in the bottle, it smells like a mature, authoritative man, whereas once it dries down, it aligns much more closely with my taste and remains top-tier. I believe if I ever marry, it will be with this scent. Others say it doesn’t last or project, but I disagree: on my skin, it does both, and I almost always receive compliments. My father loves it, even though I forbade him from using it, yet he wears it secretly. It embodies masculine authority, fatherhood, and great elegance, so I only wear it for special occasions.

TOTAL DISAPPOINTMENT. Oh dear, I managed to get a 1.5ml sample and the opening smells rough but doesn’t project strongly, which is strange for its concentration. It lasts nothing 🙁 It smells slightly of burnt plastic but in an aromatic way. I expected incredible performance and nothing happened. Perhaps the sample was stored poorly, but it was definitely original. It lasted four hours on the skin, what a pity because even applying more didn’t make it last longer. Try it before buying as it isn’t cheap.

An intense fragrance with niche quality, ideal for cold days and events where you want to stand out above the rest; it has great personality. Incense and cognac dominate. After about 30 minutes on the skin, it reminds me of Myrrhe Imperial by Armani Privé. The longevity is excellent, easily reaching 12 hours. It’s a shame it’s not better known, as it’s a very good fragrance.
