I have written at length about this fragrance on both basenotes.com and luckyscent.com. It is a fantastic, strong, unique, wonderful fragrance. It has a rich motor oil and bourbon vibe on the opening. It develops into something that is a little like Sables by Goutal, but is less sweet, but it does a touch of that root bear or cola element. It is not for the shy but the self assured or those bored with the standard commercial offerings. It is not overly strong after about a half hour, so let it dry down before you go public. If you put it on too heavily you will most assuredly get a few hands waving with a "phew" or two. But learn how to apply it properly (moderately) and let it develop and you will experience one of the most remarkable fragrances ever made. When I saw the movie, "The Gods Must Be Crazy" I thought it was so unique that I said-- who could have thought of this? I feel the same way about this fragrance. It is a treasure; a one of a kind; and a act of sheer courage for any company wanting to make fragrances that the masses would understand and buy by the thousands of gallons. Accountants would never recommend that any company make this. It is too masculine; too weird; too unique and ultimately, too good. But frankly, not every one will "get" this, but those who do will definitely get it and quickly.
