While being unable to discern notes of leather or absinthe, I must admit that the description of the fragrance reflects quite well the emotions, subjective, felt the first try of the toilet water. Addict to perfumes, I do not see what other fragrance compare: This cologne has a real personality that seems hard to describe without testing: it's warm, sensual, deep and dense ... just the opposite of an excellent famous fragrance Eau Sauvage by Dior. The bottle is simply beautiful with hints of leather, steel and glass. A success for those who love intense flavors like a good rock.
