Opening is fresh and earthy. gets sweet as it dries down. Lasts for about 12 hours if not more.

There’s nothing else like it!! That goes for all Savoir Faire scents. I’m a fragrance head and this line is one of my favorite because it’s so different, the smells are unique, pure and last and the sillage is all the way there!!!

I got the discovery set and first sprayed each onto paper. When I first smelled this one I was shocked at the strength of tobacco smell. Thought I'd just smell like a heavy smoker. And it did stay on the paper 12+ hours with the same strong tobacco smell. Still wanted to see whatd happen so wearing it now on a day in. Complete 180 once it hits skin. Now I am getting mostly oud, cedar, and cardamom. It's very unique... unisex maybe leaning masculine. Also very nostalgic, maybe the tobacco reminds me of my grandparents (social smokers). Or like being in a basement bar that used to allow smoking, but mixed with the other scents ends up smelling romantic..... bottom line try it out on skin.

I did like ascension and soul cafe better I think, but just a personal preference and not a mark against this one.

I own a lot of fragrances, but this one is far at the top of my list! It’s bold, spicy, alluring and just flat out DIFFERENT!!! This is an attention grabber it’s very masculine. You have to give this a full wearing and not just a spray on the wrist to test. I’m happy about taking a chance on this and definitely will be buying more!

I've bought every scent made by Savoir Faire. To me, SS&S is the best. It's the most distinctive smell and whenever someone smells it they all ask what it is and compliment it. Put this in your rotation asap!
