This fragrance is considered to be unisex. but I believe it is leaning a bit masculine. Right off the bat you're hit with a calming rose note blended exquisitely with a dark coffee note. This initial smell stays there for about 1-2 hours before the Amberwood, myrrh, and incense start to come out. At this point, the rose is toned down a bit and you're left with a masculine smoky coffee smell that lingers throughout the rest of the dry down. Performance wise, this fragrance lasts on my skin for about 10 hours, with it becoming a skin scent around hour 8. Projection is pretty good, about arm's length for a good 5 hours before it gets closer to the skin. Overall, I can truthfully say this is a top 10 in my collection. Definitely still sample before you buy, but if you enjoy sweet and smoky fragrances, this is a really solid choice.
