2014
“Rum-soaked leather and lava rock — dressed in black, permanently.”

The take
What works
- ●Rum-tobacco-leather beast mode that earns the 'black' framing
- ●Outstanding longevity and projection — fills a room
- ●Head-turning fall/winter signature at mid-tier pricing
Trade-offs
- ●Pure cold-weather evening — wrong everywhere else
- ●Heavy enough that 1 spray is genuinely the maximum
