A successful blind buy with this one! This version of the Ideal line is a darker version to the original. It's smoky, spicy, leathery and sweet. Of course that almond note is there! Right in the opening I get the chili, almond and leather notes. As it starts to dry down the rose, patchouli and vanilla became noticeable. When it fully dries it becomes woody and smoky. Performance is pretty decent. I got about 8 hours with an hour or so of projection. This is a great evening wear in the fall and winter seasons. 👌🏼
