Pros & Cons
- ✅ Bold yet refined masculinity that stands out in the 1980s leather chypre arena.
- ✅ Complex and enduring woody chypre character praised by collectors.
- ✅ Long-lasting performance with strong projection, often described as "beastly".
- ❌ Scarcity can inflate its reputation and price, leading to biased praise.
- ❌ Not suitable for casual or warm‑weather wear; too heavy for some tastes.
- ❌ Original formula contains civet, which may be off‑putting for animal‑sensitive users.
