CHICAGO HIGH

The pineapple and champagne opening is so fizzy it feels like the bottle is carbonated, then it settles into a warm leather-and-amber base that lasts all day on my skin. I keep catching whiffs of the honey-tobacco blend hours later and it still smells expensive.

The opening burst of champagne and pineapple is so bright it practically sparkles, and it settles into a leather and patchouli warmth that lasts through a whole evening. I can still catch whiffs of that ambre on my coat the next morning, which is exactly what I want from a 50 ml bottle.

The honey and tobacco dry-down is smooth and surprisingly wearable for a leather-forward scent. I get the champagne fizz right at the start, but it settles into that patchouli amber warmth that lasts most of my workday.
