The scent is boozy and apricotty combined with coffee and iris it settles on ambery, woody, spicy and musky notes making it of a great gentlemen fragrance. It can be worn all year round but as the manufacturer suggest I also find it better for the cooler days. It is long lasting and has excellent protective qualities for the skin. The only downside for me is that it comes a little to oily for my skin but others seem to like that. Overall it is a great product.
