The scent profile is about 98% similar [to Montale Arabian Tonka]. The longevity and projection is phenomenal.
I pick up a really sexy, musky, ambery note blended beautifully with the fruits... This is a sexy night out kind of fragrance that could work great in higher heat. I actually LOVE this scent.
I like that men can get away with wearing this scent. Similar to the other perfumes in the highness line, this is class in a bottle. This leans more towards a mature crowd, and portrays confidence.
The presentation and packaging of the bottle is insanely good. High quality far and above even a lot of pricey designer or even niche perfumes!
The longevity and projection is phenomenal.
BEAST MODE FRAGRANCE!! SWEET, AMBER, PEACHY, PINEAPPLE WITH HINTS OF PEACH BLOSSOM.
Class in a bottle... portrays confidence.
A sexy night out kind of fragrance... the scent itself is 10/10.
Presentation and packaging... insanely good.

All I smell is nutmeg and alcohol. There is a type of depth to this that has no personality. I do not like, my husband do not like it as well.
The only issue is that it does not project very well, maybe if you over spray but this sits pretty close to the skin.
What neither the reviews NOR the notes listed ANYWHERE mentioned was the OUD... Oud is almost all I get from Highness IX.
Too soft for warm weather; Sillage is basically a whisper; Fruit notes barely register.
All I smell is nutmeg and alcohol... no personality.
It does not project very well... sits pretty close to the skin.
Oud is almost all I get... most ouds just sting my nose.
Very pungent smell... smells like a camel out in the desert.
It smells on my skin like cow dung...
