Manly
Areej le Doré (2021)

Opens up with slightly synthetic, spiced up oud with good amount of saffron and then dries down to heavy tobacco stregthened up by patchouli and a twist of leather.

If you asked me what is the main note in Manly, I'd say it's tobacco. I wouldn't say the tobacco in here is typical in any way. The blend is rather unique and I'd say Manly is worth testing, but I rather wouldn't recommend buying it blind.

Longevity is 12 hours, sillage is big within 2 hours.

Interesting, definitely interesting.

Sweet and smoky, with a boozy tobacco and leather backbone. It's quite linear and persistent. Not typical of Russian Adam's work, and for that I think some fans were put off by this release. But I very much like it for what it is.
