Too new for a strong community consensus yet. Early reviews mention a complex blend of leather and floral notes, with the saffron and pomelo providing a unique twist. Some users appreciate the warm spicy and animalic qualities, while others find the metallic aspect off-putting. The fragrance is described as suitable for both day and night wear, with a preference for cooler weather. Overall, opinions are still forming as more people try it.
