Type 3: Tobacco & Amberwood

For $20 at Burlington, you can't go wrong. This is a tobacco fragrance, which is not everyone's cup of tea and not for the young crowd. It does remind me of Tobacco Mandarin, but the quality is not the same. I do get strong pipe tobacco in the opening with some syrupy notes, and some faint citrus from the mandarin. It quickly dries down to a rich, ambery, sweet, and ashy tobacco with a hint of vanilla and a saffron backbone, and the sandalwood is very noticeable. This is a masculine fragrance for sure, from the initial opening to the drydown. The performance really shocked me for the price. I get 6+ hours easily, but with average sillage. It's warm, cozy, and perfect for the fall and winter months. Honestly, it smells way more expensive than it is. If you want a solid, mature scent that punches above its weight without breaking the bank, grab this bottle. It's an absolute steal and a great value pick.

This is a really nice smelling fragrance.... The one thing missing from the descriptions are an OUD driven background, it does have a synthetic vibe to it, definitely smells like old books when you crack them open, like a previous reviewer mentioned ..but it's on the strong side and syrupy and the smells are clean and clear, but definitely synthetic/chemically but sometimes that's a good thing and sometimes it's not... I like it in this case... if you want something strong and bold you go for this... I give it a 8.5/ scent , 8.5/ strength 🔥 Ciao 🔥

@JimClassHero83, send your bottle back because its obviously a bad one, and check if its a real or a fake guess, what you described is nothing like what me and others experienced, i bought it the second i sniffed it, it's good stuff the tobacco in here is really well done and well blended, ask for a refund and get one yourself from a fragrance shop not in the mail, any fragrance can be spoiled if its shipped incorrectly.

Run, don't walk to your closest Burlington and pick this up for $20. Guess finally produced a scent capable of lasting more than 30 minutes! This is a beautiful, warm tobacco, vanilla scent. I can totally understand the comparison of smelling like old books. I also detect a faint, yet synthetic Oud note. Smells totally niche. A love.

Im not huge on maceration but this is getting better with time, a realistic smelling pipe tobacco. You can pick up other nuance notes but overall its a nice tobacco scent. As said earlier it does also have an old books smell, with leather dusty binding thats been in a dark damp room. Performs well and pairs well with a cigar
