Boss Bastard
Aaron Terence Hughes (2020)

From the write up on this fragrance from the creator this was based on the character Jordan Belfort from watching Leonardo Dicaprio in Wolf Of Wall Street. So I imagined tobacco, leather, booze and woods. You know like a gentleman's club with people smoking cigars.

What I got in smelling this was a pungent smelling Nag Champa like incense. It's a smoky green honeyed incense like you have just walked into a New Age shop selling Tarot cards and crystals. Totally different from the write up, but I guess that is due to my past associations with the smell.

It is very beastly and cloying and the longevity, projection and sillage is off the charts. Not my cup of tea unfortunately!

The opening is old-fashioned soapy-citrus. Very much like a classic bar of soap. Has this industrial-cleaning products smell and is slightly powdery. After that wears away a few minutes later, you’re left with a woody, honeyed, dry tobacco. It's linear at that point, never really deviating much from the honey tobacco.

Projection is decent and longevity is very good, lasting all day.

Unique fragrance in the collection.
This wont be for everyone, but this was my first purchase of my ATH collection.
Awesome honeyed tobacco, it is quite sharp but dark and completely differently unique from anything else.
Love this.
