A richly layered gourmand with a bold, boozy opening that evolves into a smooth, warm, and deeply aromatic leather-and-whiskey base. It begins with vibrant fruity notes—citrus, bergamot, and juicy orange—followed by a powerful, almost medicinal alcohol and caramel note that feels like a warm, sweet bourbon in the air. After 15 to 30 minutes, the sweetness mellowes, revealing a deeply woody and slightly smoky heart rich with patchouli, chestnut, and malted notes, echoing the DNA of the original A*Men. The dry down settles into a luxurious, creamy vanilla and amber backdrop, softened by a faint whisper of coffee and musk. It feels simultaneously intense and intimate—large in projection right at the beginning, but fading into a just-warm-skin scent after 6 hours, especially on the clothes, where it can persist up to 12 hours. Though it is favored in colder weather and evening wear, it remains impressive across seasons and occasions, particularly for after-dark events, layering, or seasonal transitions. The fragrance is a flawless match for those who appreciate complexity, seductive dry downs, and rich olfactory storytelling.
