Cadillac Coupe
Cadillac (2012)

This starts off as a sweet synthetic smelling vanilla, reminds be of Cuba City Hollywood, then dries down to what smells like Lomani Ignition, but not as good. Maybe half what Ignition is, projection is fairly weak. I don't get tobacco or leather either, but I do get a heavy dose of amber, sweet amber and vanilla, also a lot of lavender with a slight sandalwood note in the background. It has a balmy and resinous feel overall. This one really is very bland and boring, I expect much more from my fragrances. It smells like a little of this and a little of that. The One by D&G comes to mind too. Overall it's a definite pass for me, but it doesn't smell bad at all, just redundant and boring.

Unlike the other person who reviewed this, I get no bitter tobacco nor smoky leather, and I think it's far from being anything like Bogart Pour Homme or Macassar, so perhaps there were different formulations of it. I do agree that there is no iso e super nor "laundry musk" overload here. If tobacco is present it is the most subtle I've encountered so far, and I'm a tobacco scent fan. Instead, this is quite similar to Jacomo for Men (2007), though with a couple of different notes. On the box, coumarin is listed, and there is a gourmand-ish fougere accord here, though mild. Also, there isn't much note separation , though it is reasonably natural smelling. It reminds me of another scent too, perhaps U Ungaro Him, but I can't remember for sure. Just so long as you aren't expecting the richness and depth of vintage, you may be pleasantly surprised, especially at current prices. I also have bottles of the original Cadillac and Cadillac Extreme, and those are crude and loud by comparison to this one, though I might like those better for that very reason! However, relative to most designer releases of recent years, this one compares favorably, generally-speaking of course. It would likely work well for "romantic" occasions but it seems a bit too subtle for the 20-something party scene. And I don't think it would work well in hot weather.

Although accused of being rough and crude, this fragrance is indeed very pleasant and wearable.
Its linear notes orbit around bitter tobacco, smoky leather, and dark amber; has an impeccable projection, and lasts for days, without any stink to it... In fact, I was impressed by its quality at such a low price! The good news is that is NOT too sweet, nor is it loaded by excess of iso super E. Let us hope that reformulation will not alter it negatively.
Moreover, it is dark, warm, spicy, and aromatic; it dries down a la Bogart/Macassar, while suitable in cold days only. Fact: this fragrance does not like sweat! Therefore, do not use it for workouts, or in warm to humid environments.

For its quality to price ratio, it wins, by far, from Polo and co...Buy it with no regrets.
