Great idea, intriguing name, excellent packaging but average content. Really close to John Varvatos, but so weak… Pleasant fresh opening gives soon its place to a blend of light woods and tobacco leaf heart. But it’s the heart of an ill man, weak and malfunctioning. The cedar is so well hidden (I totally agree with purplebird7) and the tobacco is neither smoky nor sweet. You desperately want to discover more but there’s just nothing else to discover. Simply pleasant…

Very nicely done - smells classy and distinctive. However, it's essentially Gucci's Rush (trust me on this one - the dry cedar dominant note is identical) with a touch of Varvatos-style gourmand sweetness. I actually prefer this to Rush, to be honest. As others have noted, however, longevity could be better. Still very good.

A wonderful balance between smoky, woody and fresh. Subtle and understated. Low silage but those occasional light whiffs actually contribute to its stylishness. Suitable for the office as well as casual affairs.

i bought this blind..initially it smells amazing! but echoing the sentiments of someone above, after a while, it begins to smell very synthetic and just not very good :( add to the fact that it doesn't last long. this could've been brilliant though.
