Tuxedo Park

Overall, I quite like this. It’s different from your usual citrus fragrance, mainly due to the woody and leather base. It’s quite sharp up top with a zingy muskiness. I can’t say I really get the florals but I do get the oud/leather base which makes it more interesting but I also find it a little medicinal. It certainly gives the fragrance an interesting juxtaposition. I think I’d prefer it if this part was slightly toned down as it’s quite prominent to my nose. I need to give it a proper wear though to test it fully. Performance seems decent with good longevity and moderate projection. Edit: I’ve had this for a couple of months now and after spraying it today, I’m getting a different experience. The oud and leather has toned down quite considerably and the fruit and floral notes are more prominent, which I much prefer. As a result, it’s feeling more balanced overall. I’m unsure if this is due to some maceration or just environmental conditions but it definitely feels lighter and not so austere. The oud and leather are now acting as a subtle backbone, giving some depth and structure, rather than front and centre notes.

At first I felt like the notes didn’t mix well together. But that dry down my god! It’s like a doctors office in a good way (similar to the vibe u get from Baccarat, but it smells nothing like Baccarat lol). I smell a musk and ambroxan combo with a very faint leather in the background that gives it a touch of sophistication and elegance that can be worn on special occasions, yet the citrus keeps it at everyday wear option as well all at the same time.

amazing , intoxicating. the local chinese soup restaurant in my town captured perfectly. the lady behind the counter said “it smells like money” but i smell the hospitality of a neat little hole in the wall restaurant, the atmosphere of an amazing meal for a good price. will be paying the premium for its special place in my mind, a better time packing into a little table with my close friends. shout out kung fu noodle!

Muy buena fragancia me recuerda a Elysium de Roja. Dura bastante. Eso sí no pagaría lo que cuesta. Es un aroma agradable y calmador.
