tried this last night..1 spray to r forearm........from the opening this scent is "in your face" very boozy and floral and overwhelming(headache inducing for me)...as it dried down over the next hour or two i noticed more of the tobacco note(maybe a dry light well rounded tobacco, this is not smoky to me)..i did not care for this fragrance and i currently placed this sample along with 10 others in a coworkers mailbox..i cant picture wearing this.....i CAN however picture a speakeasy from the 20's in my mind when smelling this....i was never into the bar scene and dont really care for tobacco notes so i am kind of bias.
