Solution No.4

Recently got this fragrance at a fairly reduced price, but still my most expensive to date. (Fairly new to the world of fragrance collecting so still adjusting to my personal palate and certain notes so take that into account with my review) Personally for me the smell of tobacco punches through more than any other of the top and middle notes with the exception of the Eucalyptus. The Tonka bean is completely lost to me as well. Really recommend this to be worn for a night outing rather than an all day use fragrance but overall considering the hype and ridiculous prices Off-White used to charge I'm quite impressed with this.

A bright clean wooden-citrusy fragrance, that's non-offensive, more informal, laid-back, great for on-the-job, unisex, but slightly male leaning. I'm hit first by the black tea notes, then by sweet and clean papery papyrus/bamboo/light-tobacco, then by soft leather and a dominating bright almost citrusy palo santo harmonizing with creamy sandalwood. If the smell were a color i'd say it would be beige.

I bought this completely on impulse, based on the bottle, and I would say I’m completely in love with this, the scent starts off bight and clean and develops a soothing warmth as it sits on the skin. I think this scent will work best in the fall winter and spring seasons, I do plan on trying to wear this during the summer months, but I think this will be to strong in the heat and combined with sweat.

It’s winter you wake up in a cabin with fresh linen and cozy flannel sheets, in Northern California. A wood stove fire from the night before fills the air with a beautiful smoke smell. You open the window and a crisp breeze brings the smell of eucalyptus into the wood cabin. You cuddle up with your love on a big Restoration Hardware leather couch that’s slightly worn. Initially- eucalyptus, vetiver, oud, faint jasmine, leather, cinder block On skin dry down- Lighter oud, leather, grapefruit peel, campfire, sandalwood, faint amber, pencil led, lemon verbena. An hour later a pleasant lemon, white floral, herbal accord delicately emerges from the base leather, smoke and sandalwood creating a skin scent that is sexy and charming. This is a warm cozy sophisticated masculine leaning unisex fragrance. It’s natural and woodsy but could be worn by an indie loving college aged hipster, a put together entrepreneur in a wool suit or an outdoorsy beaded guy. I think this is a well balanced and blended fragrance. Some may find it simple or confusing because of the simultaneous oud/ smoke leather mixed with a clean feel. The performance is decent. Initially I thought this was a winter fragrance but as the dry down opens floral and citrus, I think it’s good for all seasons. Definitely has a distinct appeal and is not generic. Some may find it smells like a modern high end men’s clothing store. Skews modern not older or vintage. Slightly masculine for my taste, will try layering with white floral or lavender, and likely pass it on to my boyfriend. Cool bottle. 7/10

I surprisingly keep going back to this fragrances more than #2. Maybe it's because it's fall now but the scent is very pleasant. Sandalwood is very prominent for me and after it dries down I get Tonka beans and light leather scent. I am very excited to wear this during the colder days as I think it will be very "comforting" of a scent. I have been layering #2 and #4 since it's cold in the mornings and warm in the afternoons. Again the big seller is the bottle and the design for me but this seems the most "worth" it for me. Sprayed about 3-4 times and it lasted me about 6 hrs after a day in the office.
