What wearers say
“It smells like dried saliva on my skin during drydown. Woody oldschool opening, warm spicy later. Hints of cinnamon, corriander,florals and vanilla are there, but it's the drydown that puts me off with this odd funky scent. I think it's the combination of cinnamon, wood and musk that makes it smells like this. I must pass.”
“Perfectly unisex in my opinion. I keep coming back to it at Chanel counters and need a bottle! Very classy without being retro/vintage. Perfect combo of aldehydes and spices, not heavy.I think it is very versatile- any age, any gender scent.Oh and at dry down it turns into Allure EDP for women. Very similar vibe.”
“I bought a vintage bottle of 250ml and it smells very different from the current version. It has a huge leather scent. It smells like a new couch or the seats of a new car, with a strong leather smell, and then it smells like an air freshener with herbs and spices (especially cinnamon) sprinkled in it. Super nostalgic... in a bad way, lol.”
