MY MY MY! Another underrated juice due to its celebrity brand. I bought the 1oz, and after smelling it - I went online and secured the 1.7oz... this stuff is too good and will be gone really soon! It starts out with a sickly sweet and pungent lacquer accord. The sweetness is very similar to sweetness Red Delicious for Men by DKNY. The lacquer accord has been referred to as a "paint smell" and that's quite accurate. The chemical lacquer accord remains this way for a good 20-40 minutes. Once the lacquer accord fades away, you're left with a smooth and decadent berry milk-chocolate goodness rounded out with a soft vanilla (tonka + amber combo). All this is laid upon a frame of a deep suede and leather accord. There's only a slight gourmand touch. It's totally masculine, in my opinion and wholly unique. The projection is average, but the longevity is outstanding! Hours upon hours of goodness! If this was packaged in those thin vertical shaped bottles with a spherical cap under the Serge Lutens brand, it would sell like hotcakes! I highly recommend! Get your bottle before it's too late!

I picked this up on discount and I have to say this is one amazing fragrance. Please do not judge a fragrance by it's branding. I wear fragrances for their overall smell and how well they perform on me. Longevity and projection are excellent. I put this on before work and through out the day with a couple of hours apart I got two compliments. Seems that this appeals more to the older women than the younger. Very masculine, spicy, leathery, Sexy, fragrance you cannot go wrong with especially the price. To my nose it's very comparable to calvin klein's encounter maybe D&G the one but not the longevity issues. Find it, buy it, and enjoy.

My perception of celebrity fragrances couldnt get much worse. I swapped a bottle of MIP for this - strictly due to the note breakdown (and because i never wore MIP). I'll say this - regardless to what name is on this bottle, it is easily my favorite scent that i've smelled - niche, designer or otherwise. Tart, robust blackberry with a dusty sweetened leather and amber accord to back it up - it's phenomenal. i'm glad i ignored my instinct on this. 8/10

I love this. It lasts forever and projects very well. For some reason, I get an oddly high number of compliments on this one from other guys. "No homo, your cologne smells great" I guess that's a good sign... especially if you are homo...

It's Friday June 17, 2022 and Dua Fragrances just released their version. Won't have it until late next week, but wanted to pass along the information incase someone is looking for this discontinued gem.
