Imagine drinking smokey Russian Caravan tea in the bathroom while someone is brushing their teeth with minty toothpaste after using aftershave on their newly-shaven face, which they've nicked and had to use a bandaid on. So, yeah: tea, smoke, bandaid, minty toothpaste, bandaids, and aftershave is what you get here. It's not really for me, but the notes all mellow down into something that's fairly pleasant.

At first spray, this was my favorite fragrance out of the 10 I ordered from different niche brands. However, as time went on and the fragrance moved into different notes, it became somewhat off-putting on my skin. On my clothes, it still smelled like a rich, smoky tea. It comes off as a high quality and unique scent. On my skin, it smelled almost like dirty earth after about 3 or 4 hours. Somebody even said they thought it smelled like cat pee, or saliva... Not exactly what I was hoping to hear. For me, I'd only be able to wear this on my clothes, which, given that it's better suited for cool weather, might not be so bad. For that, it's a 4 star for me, because it was fantastic on clothes. Just couldn't bear it on my skin!

I'm not really a cologne guy. Well, that is until I bought a sample of this stuff. Definitely exotic. I wore it to work today and had so many compliments. Biggest plus for me is the potent but not overwhelming aromas.

Definitely worth adding to the arsenal boys🤙
