San Clemente

Ozy 34 gives an excellent review. Very satisfying smoke along with airy outdoorsy green/hay and slightly spicy notes make it transparent and appealing. Over time it builds to a really nice red wine accord, there's a moment where its very reminiscent of the excitement of a long night out while still young and unattached. My favorite drydown of the heavier Strangers line, along with Cigar and Rum. Olivier my favorite of the lighter fragrances.

Lovely blend of leather, soil tincture, smoke, tobacco and various other notes. The produced scent was rather dark and lean masculine. The smoke vibe was rather like T-rex by Zoologist. This is a pretty easy to use scent. Well blended. Compared to Tyrannosaurus Rex, this a baby lizard, cute and easy to get along.

Open - smoke smoke and more smoke. Just an explosion on first spray. Followed later by sweetness from the cherry and fruit, red wine. Theres a sandlewoody smell which must be the oakmoss that dominates the open. Something that reminds me of some beard oils I've tried with lumber scent in them. Honestly, this open is incredible. Not particularly pleasant smelling but I've never experienced anything like it. Dry down - sweet, heady, thick, slightly floral, oil slick, fresh, pleasant, soapy, clove/very herbal. The red wine is still there and the smoke that was so strong in the open goes to the background. Cinnamon, burning hay, strawberry/raspberry, dark chocolate, grassy, edible, erotic/arousing. Feedback - overall positive - many were intrigued. Verdict - This fragrance takes you on a journey. The difference between the open and the dry down is one of the most extreme I've ever smelt. Hats off to the creator, this is truly a masterpiece. The dry down on this is sexy. Something about this fragrance that screams sex. I've never smelt a fragrance on my skin that I actually thought was erotic and arousing but this certainly does that. Is it going to be my signature fragrance? I'm not sure. But it's definitely an intriguing fragrance you must try. Extremely complex, I would almost say challenging; every time you smell it, you can tease out different notes and it just keeps developing. Although complex it is still in my opinion a very wearable fragrance - the dry down is pleasing and most people I think will find it intoxicating.
