Is it me or is my nose completely off balance?
After listening to many reviews and seeing that this fragrance had some notes that I loved, I blind bought a bottle. Here's how it played out for my nose. The first 30-60 minutes is a cinnamon power bomb similar to sniffing liquid "Red Hot" candy. It overwhelmed my nose and I couldn't smell anything else. After an 1-2 hours I could pick up the clove and vanilla but cinnamon was still the primary scent. Unfortunately no tobacco detected. In the far dry down it was mainly cinnamon, clove, Tonka with a little vanilla. It's the strongest and longest lasting scent I have in my collection staying 10-12 hours on my skin but disappointingly it's weighted to heavy with the cinnamon and clove and not enough with Tobacco and dried fruit. A more suitable scent for me is Frank Boclet's Tobacco which is a much more balanced fragrance although it has only 1/3 the longevity and projection which seems to be just right. I ended up using 1 spray of Amber Oud Tobacco for a base with 3 sprays of Tobacco over the top to layer. I just make sure I'm not around people for the first hour until it's smooths out.
