Whiskey

I'm not a whiskey aficionado, so I'm not sure how well this captures that feel (based on my limited whiskey experience, not very). But this is one of my favorite Commodity scents. I know that many reviewers find it to lean masculine, but to my nose it's perfectly unisex, if not a bit feminine. Maybe that's just because I enjoy it so much on my skin. What I can say is that it's a beautiful aromatic-woody scent. I get far more oak and mahogany than cedar. The lavender is prominent, but it's smoothed out by the creamy vanilla and powdery violet. It has a classic, almost vintage feel, but it's light enough to be an everyday scent. Commodity may have hemmed itself in with the single word descriptive names, and I wonder if it had been named something less literal-sounding if it would have been interpreted as a) more feminine and b) more successful since it does fail to live up to its boozy name. On its own terms, this is a beautiful fragrance.

I tend to really like this house in general, and this fragrance is no exception. Despite the name, I don't get whiskey. I would say this is largely a violet/leather that is woody and aromatic. The opening is mostly lavender and violet, and there is something slightly bitter or medicinal which could perhaps be seen as boozy/whisky...but I think it's just the black currant and wormwood giving that effect. As this transitions it becomes a powdery violet and leather fragrance that is aromatic with a woodsy backbone. Mid-way through this reminds me a bit of Dior Homme Intense, but more aromatic and woody. The far drydown is so good---powdery vanillic leather, musk, and woods. Performance is decent- lasts most of the day with average projection. Is unisex leaning more masculine, IMO. I have a travel spray, but would consider a full bottle---I think this has been discontinued?? It's a strong like for me!

Whiskey is a misnomer. This is a violet, musk, lavender fragrance. Slightly powdery and also creamy. Unisex, leaning feminine. A decent dupe for Alaia - less challenging and softer than that one. It's really pleasant, blended with good taste, with a mild but definite personal sillage. I definitely recommend this.

Got this for my boyfriend for Christmas. He likes bourbon/whiskey scents, so I wanted to give this fragrance a shot. On first spray, it's a sweet, caramel, woody scent. On the dry down tho you might have to worry about being breathalyzed since this really does smell like whiskey.

It smells like a cheap whiskey in the opening, but the drydown is worth it. It reminds me slightly of Guess Seductive Noir (not a dupe !) after an hour, like herbacious vanilla.
