The take

What works

●Cinnamon-whiskey-pipe-tobacco opening is genuinely cinematic
●Sophisticated darkness without being a costume
●One of the only fragrances that actually smells like a humidor

Trade-offs

●Office bomb — wear this to a meeting and you'll clear the room
●Oud takes a back seat; 'oud' in the name is more aspirational than literal
