Scent Journey
The fragrance opens with a dense, boozy blast of rum tempered by a creamy, non-sunscreen coconut. The addition of mastic provides a resinous, slightly green edge that differentiates it immediately from the original.
After approximately one hour, the heart reveals a dry tobacco leaf note. The sweetness of tonka bean is balanced by the unexpected inclusion of carrot and thyme, which add an earthy, herbal dimension.
The late drydown, occurring after 4-6 hours, settles into a classic woody base. The oakmoss provides a grounded, slightly bitter structure, while the patchouli and cedar ensure a persistent masculine-leaning woody trail.
Performance Dashboard
8-10+ hours on skin; 24+ hours on clothing.
Moderate to heavy for the first three hours before settling to a consistent scent bubble.
Strong and noticeable without being cloying.
