at first its very woody and medicinal wasn’t my favorite…after the dry down though!! its so honey and sweet, blends so well with the tobacco. so nice. will definitely be a good fall night time scent.
A higher quality Tobacco Vanille. Very elegant and beautiful. Tobacco Vanille smells like potpourri at a Christmas store. This doesn’t. I do detect a slight bit of Oud in the base. It’s definitely a mellow tobacco scent though. Strong stuff, but not as obnoxious as Tobacco Vanille. Maybe two sprays with this. Edit: two sprays is probably best. One on the neck and one of the chest. You might be able to use three if you’re the bold type…
I don't think this is BETTER than Herod, it's different, i have both and they are both relevant i like them each for their own. This one has more of a deepness it's darker and less sweet, this one is also giving me already smoked cigar, some of the ash, and the sweetness of the unsmoked cigar. Herod to me is more honey sweet, none of the ash and already smoked cigar. I guess Herod is more gentle?
I really do love this fragrance. It's sweet and potent - almost cloying, but not quite - and has a delightful, powerful vanilla undergirding something a little smoky and a little oaky. But I can't help but feel like this is something a gay Nazi would wear. Don't ask me to articulate why I feel that way, it simply exist in my mind. A gay Nazi would smell like what The Oud Affair smells like. A gay fucking Nazi. Do with that what you will.
This is close to a unlit Cuban cigar. Much better than Parfum de Marly Herod.
