Gentlemen Only Intense

Mostly sweet resinous warmth, soft and slightly powdery. Underneath that, like a new leather jacket, smoky with a bitter edge.

It opens on birch leaf, black pepper and green mandarin, moves through leather, patchouli and texas cedar, and settles on tonka bean, incense and amber.

• black pepper: dry and hot, like pepper cracked straight from the mill
• green mandarin: mandarin picked unripe: sharper, greener, less sweet

It lasts an average amount of time and sits close to the skin after the first hour.

Built from the note listing and the measured performance figures. We have not smelled this one.
