No. 19

Hard to improve the opening ; it does not smell anything at all to alcohol, from the beginning a smooth tobacco, similar to Avant Garde (obviously clearing the quality distances) or Volutes or Fumerie, is clearly visible. it is said that the Brandy chord that uses part of an absolute that is worth $ 19,000 per kilo ... I do not know , for me with the alcoholic notes it always happens to me the same, I do not smell alcohol, I guess they give texture, background, character but I do not smell Brandy to be honest . The perfume seems to me rather linear , also like almost all tobbacos it has sweet nuances (it is not a very obvious candy or a very obvious tonka since the protagonist is tobacco and the two mentioned ingredients make an accompaniment function, perhaps the brandy also favor that soft sweetness. And well, it may have traces of woods and orange blossom but in much less intensity. Now in the deep drying maybe I also dare to say that it is less sweet and it may be that mildy salty . With two sprays I smell it well for about 7 hours it has even given me two compliments, one newly put and another at 45 minutes approx. I do not usually aceept or join these prices and there are similar things out there, but I must admit that the perfume is very good.

Strong but balanced- I get tobacco and sweet liquor primarily, with woody and caramel nuances. It is sweet but not girly-sweet or saccharine, and despite the masculine woods it is totally unisex, unlike the sweeter, lighter, and more masculine Jazz Club (MMM). I do not smell any floral tones at all; No 19 is much more a 1920's speakeasy atmospheric aroma.
