For a classic man
First, there is a hit of sweetness for just a short period of time. Then depending on weather, you can feel what I like to call wet patchouli notes, so sweetness goes away and you are left with a wet basement, wet soil, definitely on a darker side. It is the first ride.

But there is more after some time patchouli disappears and we have nice soapy scent with hints of amber and bergamot.
It is a classy one and would be a perfect match for a bit older man, wearing elegant clothes and a tie. At least this is how I can imagine a perfect match for these perfumes. But seems it is not only my opinion as you can be complemented that way as well.

The projection and longevity is mediocre, making good companion for an office environment.

Wait for it
Wait for it is one of the catchphrases used by Barney from TV Show How I Met Your Mother as an interjection to suggest drama. Maybe there isn't much drama here but it is definitely worth to wait for it as this scent needs time to develop.

An opening is quite surprising, it more like the smell of absinth, spices with a bit of alcohol notes. After a strong opening, there is silence, most probably because your nose was so heavily attacked with strong alcohol notes that it needs time to rest.

When this fragrance shines is developing slowly, it is not wow but pleasant accents of amber and vanilla, which is mixing with a few soapy notes. It is a bit waterish but from time to time might surprise you with more intense notes.

Maybe it is my batch but sillage is not great and after 2-3 hours it is near skin scent. Because of that and not being too loud, it can be used in a less formal office environment. But I wouldn't call it elegant.

Another reason for stopping global warming
It was used by ancient Egyptians over 2000 years before the birth of Christ. It was considered a highly valued and precious gift for the Royals and Noblemen through the ages. It is all about Cinnamon, and what is nice that the Dutch played a huge role in trading and cultivation this precious spice.

This scent is all about Cinnamon and Winter, especially December making it one of my favorites during this season.
It is opening delicately with a bit of "metallic" scent, it might be grapefruit, after a while, we have perfect cinnamon with a hint of vanilla. What is great is not being too sweet but has a lot of character.

It was advertised as a weapon of mass seduction and as such, it is musculin and bold. It is perfect for the evenings, meeting with friends and family and even for clubbing. It might be too loud of the office environment even the casual one. Of course depending on type of business. Perfect condition for wearing it is light frost with a lot of white snow, mulled wine and smile on your face.

Gentleman's club or country housewives?
I will be honest I have never been in the traditional English gentleman's club, but I can imagine it smell differently.
It might be due to the fact that Tobacco scent is underdeveloping on my skin, but I don't feel it as much as others.
On an opening, there is a lot of vanilla with a brak trough of spices. After a while spices go away and what is left are dry fruits and vanilla, which reminds me "keks" a traditional Christmas cake in eastern Europe.

Don't get me wrong it is a nice scent and advertised as unisex and this might be one of the reasons why it is lacking masculinity.
