Whiskey

I found Commodity Whiskey to be a good scent; mainly a friendly aromatic with some pleasant fresh-spices, amber, musk and light-woods accords. To me it's perfectly suited for wearing at the office or formal settings in which the fragrance needs to behave and not be loud, intrusive or draw attention. Whiskey performed well in this role. That's the good news! But where's the Whiskey? While it had a somewhat interesting interplay between the aromatics, spices and amber (I really picked-up on the eucalyptus), I didn't really detect any boozy accord in this fragrance whatsoever. Okay, perhaps if I closed my eyes and told myself there was booze in this fragrance when perhaps I could convince myself it were true. But I just didn't feel the boozy tones until it because a skin-scent but, by that time, who noticed. Finally, performance was a bit disappointing in that it lasted only about 3-4 hours on my skin and sat very close to my skin after about an hour. While it didn't radiate off my skin, it did leave a detectable scent-trail for about 2-hours. Overall, there's just not enough here to warrant purchasing a full-bottle but I didn't enjoy sampling it couple times. Update: Since I am wearing this fragrance today...okay, I can see it having a malty/boozy vibe in the drydown. But it's a skin-scent at this stage so I needed to bury my face into my arm to detect it.

Reviews for this one seem to be all over the place. We all seem to get different impressions from Commodity Whiskey. So here is my take on it. The opening is a bit off putting. I get a heavy bug spray vibe from it. Luckily that does not last very lone and quickly turns to a boozy, woody, amber scent with a touch of floral and citrus. Not bad! After a few hours it becomes a very boozy scent. Reminiscent of Frapin 1697. I am not saying it smells like 1697, but I am saying that in the dry down it has the same boozy vibe that 1697 has.I don't get DH from this at all. maybe a little like Midnight in Paris. but not close enough to be considered a similar scent to my nose. Overall this is a good casual scent with moderate projection and longevity on my skin.

How have I never reviewed this? This is absolutely my favorite men's scent of the original Commodity line (I backed their launch Kickstarter and ended up sampling all 10 of their black-line masc scents). It's sweet whiskey on me (but not THAT sweet, as I tend to avoid anything sugar-y). Think more of an Old Fashioned rather than pure alcohol. There's some sugar and spice to this. Beyond the sweet boozy note, there's some amber, bergamot, cinnamon, and wood (oak?), and perhaps vanillin. This has good sillage and longevity on me, and unlike most sweet scents, doesn't get too powdery on dry-down on me. I'd say if you're going to try any from the black line of Commodity, make it Whiskey, Gin, and Book.

Spicy leather , honey sweet boozy whisky all day long, better performer than wool and paper, better projection and sillage, but not by much. Accurate whisky scent smells like single malt u spill in your shirt and smell it the next day on your shirt, just the sweetness of the spirit. Out of all the commodity goods lineup I currently own and enjoy (whisky, wool, paper) this is the only one I'd get another bottle when I'm done with my current one.

I don't get DH or MIP at all...not even close there's no powder note at all. This is a masculine boozy scent and leather but not Tuscan leather, leather jacket leather....leather coat holding a glass of whiskey and some sweet undertones but very masculine is the best picture I can paint. A must try. Commodity has a 10 pack scent for $25 shipped and if you decide to get a full Bottle of any of them, which you will you get a $15 credit. Perfect
