I Will

I can understand the hate. There is far more hate in fragcomm than I've seen pretty much anywhere else except politics. This can be a very hostile place, especially if someone doesn't like what you like. Having said that, This is definitely one of my favorite designer releases in recent memory. I definitely get Tuxedo vibes all throughout the wear, and the dusty vanilla note doesn't over-ripen the fragrance to me, it simply elevates it. I get nothing Code, JPG, SWY, etc...not sure if those folks have actually smelled or worn this. Something like Ferragamo Intense leather as well... The violet seems most prominent to me deeper in the dry down, but closer to skin. Really fantastic stuff. And I don't say that about most designers (Paradigme anyone?). At the end of the day it is an easy reach for all but the hot days (I did wear it in the heat and it was fine). This is going to be getting a lot of wear this fall. It is no wonder so many enthusiasts I have known over the years got tired of the hostility on here and moved on. I guess I'm just a glutton for punishment, lol...

Finally a good designer release. Many recent ones were let-downs. Nice to have something different. Good perfumers behind it and this time it actually shows. Been wearing this on and off for a few days now (was gifted a dozen or so samples to evaluate a week ago). I love it. A different kind of sweet. Very good performance. I get vibes of Tuxedo, but in a more wearable, less stuffy way. Also reminds me of Boss Bottled Beyond, with vanilla and leather. Or like Tuxedo mixed with Boss Bottled Beyond. Regardless, this is a phenomenal fucking release. All season wearable. Going full bottle on this one, not going to wait for discounters. Should be $160-$170 when it releases. On par with the rest.

Right. Because companies like Armani routinely release products without doing any market research. SMH. Be prepared for either the SWY line to be discontinued, or the Code line to be replaced. They aren’t going to eliminate one or the other until they’ve established the new product, and I’ve bought three bottles of this already since I really enjoy it. It’s very, very good. I won’t ever reach for any SWY with this in my arsenal. (Maybe sandalwood since that’s the best one). The bottle is gorgeous. Unless you prefer Lattafa presentations...

You’re welcome I know my nose didn’t lie to me , when I was the first on here to suggest this as a reminds me of tuxedo clone . But made more designer like and appealing in my opinion been testing this from a sample I got Sunday and truly well done by Alberto morillas my fav perfumer

I was at Macys last week and was able to put it on a card and for almost a week the scent was present. It is a very unique scent that I truly enjoyed.
