What works
- ●Saffron-leather opening that reads immediately expensive
- ●Strong cold-weather performer with real staying power
- ●Confident masculinity without the club-cologne aggression
- ●Layers beautifully with oud-adjacent bases
Trade-offs
- ●Floral mid straddles masculine and feminine in a way that won't suit everyone
- ●Price makes it hard to justify against Herod, which does the leather better
