Like most Jo Malone scents it makes a good first impression, but then mellows out, kind of like a flare. While it lasts it is decent... The top notes are slightly boozy...it actually reminds me of Dolce and Gabbana Velvet Exotic Leather. But the D&G is so much better. Once the booze moves on it mellows to a woody leather. And yes, it does smell somewhat of Gucci Guilty Absolute. I own GGA and love it, so I know very well what it smells like. Bronze Wood and Leather is definitely inspired by GGA... Like an attempt to make GGA more palatable for the mass market. No strong medicinal smell here. GGA is so much better though, and GGA has the richness and longevity that BW&L sorely lacks. BTW: What is up with the third picture in the ad campaign? Is the guy going to roll the girl down the hill in the wheel of branches? haha.

This is just right. I’m a bit perplexed by it though. I don’t get the smoky, vetiver comparison to either Dark Lord or Gucci. Often when seeing compared to scents, I have to go in with an open mind because 9 times out of 10 I do not get the comparisons that other get. I get a processed, modern leather mixed with soft, creamy woods. Quite nice and very easy to wear. Perfect daily wear scent IMO. I just wish it lasted a bit longer.

Own it’s own I don’t think it’s a fantasy rich scent, but pairing with some black fruits it turns into a miracle! Anything with blackcurrant, blueberry, black grape Would complement it so so much, this is definitely a great base to start to mix your own scent! ☝🏽❤️

Softer version of GGA. Good one with less sillage and longevity. But really, there's no any reason to buy it having GGA.

I sampled this on my arm earlier today and loved it - at first... The grapefruit scent really cut through the cosy richness of the scent and it was a compelling duo - warm, luxurious, with a zesty edge.... As it dried down it became more leathery, a little more masculine and woody (ooohh...lovely)... and now, three hours later (good staying power by the way!) It smells of that old fashioned pink soap bar that you got in the toilets at school. Oddly medicinal and bit like the scent of just-opened emulsion paint. My cat recently came back from the vet and he smelled like this too. I find this so unpleasant. I'm really disappointed.
