The key to this fragrance lies in its name – it’s strong! Very strong in fact. First applying this fragrance is like getting a sharp jab from Floyd Mayweather – it might make you take a step back! It soon mellows out, however. Notes of cardamom are very prominent in this fragrance and after the initial blast, blend well with sweet vanilla and notes of chestnut to create a scent that is unquestionably masculine and alluring. Works great on a night out and any time you want to draw attention to yourself.
Thomas Martin –
I honestly wasn’t sure at first – straight out of the bottle there was something, almost a bit too brash and “laddish” about this one that clashed with my sensibilities. But by the next morning I had already succumbed to it as a bit of a guilty pleasure. The opening is a bit of a Michael Bay film but the dry-down is an absolutely delicious gourmand mixture of vanilla and sweet chestnut and it lasts better than any other fragrance I’ve tried. One of my favourites.
