When I used to wear this, the dry down was always excellent. Vanilla, leather, vetiver and spice. Powerful, classy. Years later, I am of the belief that this fragrance has been reformulated as it appeared watered down last time I messed with it. Definitely a Fall or Winter scent to warm things up at the office or on a date. Very bold and far from casual. I worked with a very famous, now-deceased attorney who used to wear this in the office. I bought it for myself to emulate him. Envy was perfectly suited for such a man. I used to feel like a Soprano when I wore this fragrance. Years later, I still enjoy the fragrance but refrain from using it outside the house as my tastes have changed in favor of things understated and subtle: see Ferre for Men, which I just bought at Nordy's. ****Update: I take back the couple of reservations I expressed: this is a classic fragrance. Pure magic. Milky honey, amber, mint, vetiver, and a smoky cedar wood base. A king could wear this. I hope it is never discontinued.
