525 (Bourbon French)

Without a note tree it is difficult to discern exactly what this masculine scent is made up of. There is an underscoring of a light tobacco leaf with vanilla support. There is also a refreshing mint-like aura, reminiscent of green tea, about it. In the dry down the mint slowly moves to the background, leaving the tobacco/vanilla accord.

I imagine this can be worn on almost any occasion, from office to night out. It's very much a skin scent and makes no bold statement about itself. Projection is small, but longetivity is decent.

Although linear and almost one-note, this is an unusual men's scent, which is worth the attention of those who love tobacco-centric colognes.

This is wonderful stuff. I have no idea how to describe it properly, but the note pyramid on this page has nothing to do with what I am smelling. Most of all I am reminded of the smell of a store from my long-ago childhood that sold novelty items from Hong Kong.
