Unexpected Fresh Spicy is a rich, gourmand tobacco fragrance with a boozy, honeyed opening that evolves into a warm, spicy, and smoky drydown. It opens with a bold blend of cinnamon, whiskey, and bergamot, delivering a surprisingly smooth and complex scent that carries a faint bubblegum-like sweetness in the initial moments. This fades into a persistent core of sweet tobacco, vanilla, and tonka, with underlying notes of sandalwood and benzoin adding depth and a subtle ambery warmth. The fragrance develops into a thick, enveloping scent with a strong presence—booming at first but staying within a few feet of the skin, suitable for evening or winter wear. It exhibits excellent longevity, clearly lasting well past eight hours on most skin types, and features moderate to strong sillage, especially in cooler weather.
