Gentleman's Nostalgia

After applying, I immediately got a heavy dose of leather, which reminded me very much of walking into a store that sells high end purses or maybe that sells leather jackets. As it begins to dry down, I still get leather as a prominent note, but also get smoky, musky, and woodsy (cedar?) notes coming through as well. Im not getting a lot of sweetness in this fragrance, maybe a very faint vanilla in the background. As time goes on, the smoky and woodsy notes are definitely matching the leather one for a nice balance. I am not one to label fragrances as being masculine or feminine. I believe all could be worn by either gender, but for those who do like to distinguish, I feel that most would say this leans masculine. I would totally wear it myself, probably not on all occasions, but maybe for a night out, while wearing a leather jacket a leather boots. It smells very sophisticated. This is a dabber sample, so it is difficult to judge projection but I imagine with a sprayer, this would project very nicely and you wouldn't need many sprays.
