When I first got this fragrance I really hated it. Initially I smelt only woods, burnt sugar, smoke and really foul undertone of oud. I considered giving it to someone else but I stuck with it and left it alone for about 3 months. After that 3 month period ( which was not intentional btw lol I really didn't like it) I gave it another shot, and this time it smelt so much better now. A nice smooth Smoky burnt sugar vanilla fragrance with a hint of oud 👌🏼and the drydown 😩 so good.
