A sophisticated and elegantly masculine fragrance with a striking rose-centric heart, this is a classic from the 1990s that holds up today. The opening bursts with citrus, sharp lavender, and a distinct vodka note, creating a fresh and slightly spicy aroma. This transitions into a rich, well-blended floral heart dominated by a dark, masculine rose—deeply erotic but never overly sweet or feminine. The base features cedar, sandalwood, patchouli, and oakmoss, lending warmth, depth, and a subtle, earthy muskiness that gives the fragrance its distinctive character. While the projection is moderate, lasting 6 to 8 hours in most cases, some users report shorter duration depending on skin chemistry. It excels in cooler weather and nighttime wear, where its dry down is most appreciated, delivering a refined, smooth, and sensual impression. The bottle is sleek and bold, matching the scent's elegant yet slightly dark personality. Overall, it's a versatile, high-performance fragrance with a unique rosy-vodka twist that earns admiration and compliments.
