Really interesting - the only male perfume I've seen from the Lezard line, which seems to be out of production by now...
This is a sweet oriental, not unlike the kinds of YSL La Nuit de l'Homme and CH Men. What surprises me, is that there is no mention of neither coffee nor cardamom in the notes listed. I get no licorice or mint, but a nice mixture of tonka, vanilla, coffee and cardamom with hints of cognac and woody basenotes of cedar and sandalwood. The coffee association may of course be due to the tonka mixing with vanilla and giving off a caramel like resemblance of the sweetened bitterness of a mocha latte.
Where I find the projection to be rather average and drydown to a skinscent within a couple of hours, I must give due credit to an incredible longevity - after 8 and 12 hours it is still clearly detectable. As seen on the pictures, the bottle is also really curious and actually widening towards the top unlike most other bottles.
Overall, a sweet, dark and woody oriental that is definitely worth trying if you should come across it somewhere.
