Almost nisch quality very nice opening fresh and sweet (but not much sweet) Almond is dominant with citrusy and back ground twisting cherry and rosemary little bit. This is maybe the best smelling cologne I've ever had so I can get past the weaker sillage and longevity because I can get whiffs of myself for 3-4 hrs. All of the release is phenomenal and unique but late release kinda forget what make Original the best.

Had the same issue with the Intense version as well while the Extreme is working in beast mode on me. The scent is fine, it's a unique date night scent with cherry which I haven't seen much in mens fragrances.The longevity and projection are far superior an easy 8 hours with 5 sprays and I refuse to spray more.

Longevity modarate and sillage nearly 1,5- 2 hours very good and strong but not bursting so you can wear in office also in a restorant for dinner. That's really upsetting considering it costs more than the Guerlain L'homme Ideal Cologne and I get way better performance from that with fewer sprays. Smokiness started to rise from the background that offers a mysterious gentleman feel with the touch of soft leathery note with the sweetness from tonka beans making the wearer very exclusive and luxurious feel. The cherry goes great with the rose,its very sensual,i'd say its pretty unisex,so ladies dont be afraid to pull this one off.

But to me this is a really good fragrance but almost redundant if you own something like Lhomme by YSL. Sure it's very nice in the air, and if a person wears this it definitely turns heads, it's potent and lasts very well. A good candidate for a signature scent, could be worn all year around, in formal settings or informal gatherings, at a date night, at office, whatever.
