Is this fragrance suitable for office wear?+−
While it is primarily designed for evening or leisure use, its smooth leather and creamy vanilla notes are refined enough for business settings in cooler weather, provided it is applied moderately.
How does the leather note in this fragrance compare to other popular leathers?+−
Unlike the raw, "new car seat" leather found in some high-end releases, the leather here is softened significantly by vanilla and maté, resulting in a suede-like, creamy texture rather than a sharp or animalic one.
Is this more masculine or feminine?+−
It is truly unisex. The tobacco and leather provide a traditional masculine backbone, while the jasmine and gourmand vanilla notes offer a sweetness often found in feminine perfumery.
Does this work well in the summer?+−
Most enthusiasts recommend avoiding this in high heat. The sweet and spicy accords can become cloying in humidity; it is much better suited for the crisp air of autumn and winter.
