**Performance is exceptional**: longevity stretches well beyond 10 hours, and sillage is substantial enough to fill a room—this is a fragrance for those who want their presence felt, not one that whispers.
**Herbal-spicy leather with a fresh twist**: enthusiasts praise its balance of green, medicinal opening against a dark resinous base, positioning it as a cleaner alternative to vintage leather fragrances without sacrificing sensuality or depth.
**Distinctly a cool-weather fragrance**: most reach for it in fall and winter for evening or night-out occasions; its heavy, dark profile and bold sillage make it poorly suited to summer or casual daytime wear.
**Polarizing on first impression**: some find the opening fresher and greener than anticipated, requiring time to appreciate the leather and resinous evolution—it's best evaluated after a full wear cycle rather than on the opening alone.
**Strong appeal to leather connoisseurs**: those seeking "beasty," full-bodied leather scents with resinous complexity view it as excellent value within the Guerlain prestige framework, though its audacious character and niche appeal limit its mainstream audience.
