A gold ingot glints on the bar top before he even turns around, that's the effect. The room notices first, then the scent arrives: blood mandarin and grapefruit cracking bright and citrus-sharp, mint trailing cool right behind it. That bright opening of blood mandarin, grapefruit, and mint burns off fast, giving way to a warm spiced heart, cinnamon and spicy accord folded into rose, the one soft note in an otherwise brash arrangement. It settles low into amber, leather, woody notes, and Indian patchouli, the kind of base that clings to a jacket collar long after he's left the room. Poured at Extrait strength, 30% oils, so that dry-down actually lasts. For the man who wants to be remembered without saying much, a dinner date, a Friday out, a fall or winter evening where the air is cool enough for leather and amber to carry. Day or night, casual or dressed up, one or two sprays holds an 8-10 hour trail. Hand-poured in small batches in Richardson, TX. Projects softly for the first two hours before settling into a 6-8 hour skin scent. Hand-poured in small batches in Richardson, TX as an Extrait de Parfum, 30% fragrance oils versus the 15-20% typical of an Eau de Parfum, so a little goes a long way. Reach for it on commutes, catch-ups, and the ordinary days worth smelling good for. Made for our Fall selection.
