As a woman, I’ve been looking for more interesting scents, to meander away from the traditional gourmands and fruity woods I’ve fallen comfortable with. I really like this one. I get a musky leather with vétiver in the dry down. It’s warm and cozy, masculine and unique. It’s actually what I was hoping Jazz Club by Maison Margiela would be. Noteworthy offers a nice discovery set, so even if you don’t enjoy this one, you’re bound to like one of the others. Longevity and sillage are moderate on clothing. Safe for office if only using 2-3 sprays.

This was a funny scent for me, because of the 4 scents I got in my sampler from noteworthy, this was the one I had the most visceral reaction to. In that, I sprayed it and HATED IT. Immediately did not like it. I did a test spray in the morning and felt like I was being drowned in Barbasol. I was convinced this was the worst. However, after wearing it a full day, I couldn't stop coming back to it. I kept finding myself going to smell it again. VERY masculine, and very warm. I picked up on basically no grapefruit, but tons of leather and musk. I picked up a full bottle after all, because I decided it would be a lovely winter time scent.

Smells like a warm leather jacket worn by somebody who smells of a deliciously expensive perfume. The imagined perfume that they're wearing is dark, yet refreshing; a smokey and powdery, woody amber. Lightly spicy with a bright & sweet vetiver. This person gives you a one-armed hug that somehow feels like a bear hug, and your legs turn to jello. They're soooo hot!!! It's not fair! <3 swooon worthy, sensual... Extremely gender-neutral and very sexy.

One of my favorites from Noteworty. Though not what I expected! Moody. Powdery. Classic perfume vibes, but I don't hate it. Leather contrasts with amber green grassiness. The grapefruit is quiet. The patchouli is prominent. It's smokier than anticipated, but still vibrant. An airy, warm arid woods.

Another from my Noteworthy Scent test results. I'm getting angrier with each sample. These are largely uninspired dupes it seems and by casting a wide net, they are hoping to get folks to buy fragrance this way. Here we have the sweet-n-leather combo being tried, done better pretty much everywhere else. I have 20 dollar dupes that do this same vibe better. The leather here is practically non-existent to my nose, but all the sweet and floral and ash that makes this a no go for me in this little world of scents. I hated this.
