The consensus on performance is overwhelmingly positive, with many enthusiasts describing it as a "beast-mode" fragrance that lasts well over eight hours and maintains a strong presence even after a full day.
While marketed toward men, the community largely views this as a unisex fragrance due to its heavy emphasis on spices and vanilla, which many women find comfortable and wearable.
It is frequently compared to Tom Ford’s Tobacco Vanille, though users often note that François Delì’s version feels more aromatic and less aggressive, lacking the "burnt" or "medicinal" quality some find in other tobacco scents.
Recommended primarily for the coldest months of the year, it is a favorite for evening events, holiday markets, and formal winter gatherings, though most agree it is too potent for a standard office environment.
Some debate exists regarding the spice levels; while most appreciate the clove and cinnamon, a few find the opening too sharp, suggesting that the beauty of the fragrance lies almost entirely in its long-lasting, mellow dry down.
