My Impression

A BEAST. Ultra masculine, but there is never a disturbing kind of masculinity. The perfume opens with an intense spice, at the start the spice is so dominant that nothing else reaches your nose, then the spice steps back a little and woodiness comes in together with that fresh smell the lavender brings, and in the dry down it turns into a fresh, spicy, woody perfume. Never judge this perfume on skin, because its scent in the air is completely different, and it is truly commendable to produce such a beautiful work that is this simple. Performance wise, it is a terrifyingly strong perfume.
