Unwind

Received an 8ml decant of this in one of my subscription box orders. This is a cousin of Santal 33 to my nose. I don't have a sample of Santal 33 to compare it to, but from what I remember it smelling like, the general DNA is here. Smells like a more masculine version of it. I wish I knew what oud alone smells like because I believe this is my first time smelling it in a fragrance, but it seems to be pronounced here alongside the sandalwood. I heard oud can be an offensive note, and in no way is it offensive here. This fragrance is definitely different from all the blue fragrances and fougeres I like, and I think it'll suit me well for evening outings in the coming winter months.

TUMI gets a lot of hate. I think the most common gripe is that there are better options for the price. I have never smelled Santal 33, so I cannot say as to how similar this smells, but I got a 30ml bottle at Burlington today for $30 and I'm quite impressed. While I'm not super keen on the opening spiciness of the ginger, the middle and drydown are just phenomenal. Again, never having smelled Santal before, this is new and different to me. Definitely putting into rotation. Plus, the twist-lock of the bottle and cap is a pretty cool novelty.

This is really strong gentleman almost CEO type of cologne. It smells almost chocolatey which I can imagine is from the sandalwood and agarwood or sandalwood and ginger maybe but the sandalwood is very smooth the agarwood is Eastern which is mass appealing and not like Indian oud. It is slightly smoky but I believe the lemon brings it down and the other notes blend well together to give it its signature scent it is very upscale smelling almost smells like you're walking in a Gucci store or some super super upscale designer shop.

Not bad if I must say. It has good longevity on my skin. It's been 8 hours ago I sprayed 1 spray on each wrist and I can still smell it. Yeah I have to get close to smell it but alot of other fragrances would be completely worn off by now but not Tumi Unwind. I got decent sillage for a couple hours. I really like what this company did so far. They have made 2 fragrances and one is meant for daytime and this one is for the evening. It is a great idea and I wouldnt be surprised if other companies copy from this idea.

I picked this up at Burlington, today, 11/18/23, for $29.99 for a 1oz. bottle. And let me say, in my honest opinion, it's 10! It Immediately reminds me of Bravo Monsieur, by El Gonso. But when it stats to dry down, I get Creed Aventus! I won't give a long drawn out Review, but this is amazing! I'm assuming, it'll last 8hrs. I'll come back and add on to this Review! This is at Macy's for $70.00 for a 1oz. bottle. I bought 2! I'm set for a good while!...you can wear it anytime, anywhere!
