“Cool leather and cardamom — the kind of masculine that lets the room come to it.”
The take
What works
- ●Cardamom-cypress opening is cool, precise, and effortlessly masculine
- ●Suede-leather-iris heart gives it a refined minimalism that's rare at the price
- ●Parfum concentration delivers restrained but impressive longevity
Trade-offs
- ●Quiet projection for a Parfum — not the room-filler the concentration implies
- ●Underappreciated relative to its quality, but that may improve with time
