The reaction to this scent is very mixed. It is an interesting scent and I like it. The overall impression is of green tea on me.
The citrus note was brief and I can’t really pick out the incense, tobacco, poppy or amber.
For some curious reason it makes me think of Japan and the tea ceremony. A dry, slightly sweet, slightly astringent green tea. Maybe it’s the Holly that I can smell. Who knows!
I think it’s an easy to wear, casual wear scent and almost unisex.

I blind bought this based on the positive reviews and I have to disagree with much of what has been said. All I get is the most awful sour smell . It is impossible to distinguish a lot of the notes listed and at no stage does the sourness burn off to be replaced by a less unpleasant note. Something appears to be dominating everything else to my nose but not in a good way. I am usually a fan of more spicy or masculine scents so I found my reaction to this surprising. I wondered if maybe the perfume was compromised in some way as my bottle had leaked slightly on arrival? On the plus side if you intended to gift this one the packaging is gorgeous and the bottle is a very heavy white ceramic type so sadly while I appreciate the asethic the juice inside is not for me. ☹️

I just received a free sample of this, with a bottle of Theo Fennell.
Threw the Theo Fennell out of the window, had my wrist surgically removed to get rid of the stench, and immediately bought a bottle of this instead.
Black Fleece is a thing of absolute beauty.

Ok now… THIS is AMAZING stuff!!! This comes pretty darn close to my holy grail scent. So many of my favorite notes here: patchouli, saffron, oud, tabacco, sandal, incense, amber! You have to smell it to believe it and if you like or love any of the above notes, then you must try this, asap! Just read the review of mapache below me, this is niche quality juice at a fraction of the price. A magical concoction that will blow your mind. There really aren’t words to describe how amaz-balls this is so if you come across this at TJ Maxx or Marshalls for $20, do not hesitate to purchase!

Was at Marshalls this morning, and stumbled across this scent. $19.99 4.2 oz…hmmmm….I had read reviews on it here…and was interested for sure. First of all…nice packaging…minimalistic…going into niche territory on the packaging…Nice. Secondly, the bottle weighs a TON!
You can put a window out if thrown at it…lol. It has a nice box-within-a box…and a weird grey flannel like fabric piece that is on top…the bottle is nestled in under that fabric. Simple, chaukly/pearly whitebottle and box…the that heavy grey fabric…yin and yang.
The bottle/packaging does not portray what your going to be smelling….maybe the grey wooly masculine fabric is the hint here…??? Cut to the chase….I am LOVING this concoction !!! Yes, it is masculine/unisex…niche vibe for sure. One of the top notes is holly….not sure what that is supposed to smell like..??… but I DO get the saffron/guaic wood/sandalwood, with the insense laying under it…and LIGHT OUD…not barnyardy/skanky…at all… I think the neroli/jasmin/mandarin “brightens” things up a little..without being pronounced flora/fruity on top. and the woods add depth and balance.BTW..the beginning was surely “smokey-ish” but that died down a little.As for the holly and red poppy…who knows??…where they fit in to my nose…amber/patchouli are there to…but..not the usual effect of amber/patch, again, to my nose, IMO.
This is one of my best blind buys recently. Also, I might add, to my nose, this is not an over-powerful scent that one would expect based on the notes.
WOW !! I am liking this alot, but may not be for everyone.I find it “different” from most of the scents I have tried lately. I am tempted to find a back-up bottle…it is discontinued…(surprise !)….and I see the prices on eBay going UP !! I am so curious to try the men’s version too !!!
EDIT: Final thoughts….AHHHH…..MAZING !!!! I will gladly pay the higher price on-line, if I cannot find a back-up or 2 at Marshalls/Tj Maxx !!!!
10/10 IMHO

I picked this up for $20 for a 4.2 oz bottle at TJ Maxx thinking it was a men’s cologne (it was in the men’s section) I wore this a few times before I found out it is marketed to women. Maybe this influenced my opinion, but this is completely unisex.
First off, its soft without being soapy, powdery or too flowery. Its def has a sweeter slightly floral vibe, but there is a bitter note that contrasts everything else. This is mostly oud, wood, tobacco and patchouli. Not sure what Holly is, but maybe that is what gives this that distinctive bitter counter note. Flowers are more in the background but can always be detected even in the dry down. Again this very soft and well blended, with mild projection and longevity. Smells expensive and sophisticated and very versatile. More day than night and more dressy than informal (think Jil Sander Bath and Beauty EDT or Clinique Aromatics in White). Wasn’t too surprised this retails for over $150. Overall a really nice one.

the bottle is lovely. very pretty. the scent itself is very tart. to my nose it’s a lot of lemons limes and grapefruits. apply lightly or all that citrus can become quite overwhelming. it’s nice for warm weather and has a lot of staying power.

Light and easy to wear, soft and tendor, gorgeous bottle and niche quality ingredients.
I got a few bottles of this beauty, one is available for trade.

It’s gorgeous!!! It’s divine!!! I love it!! Beautiful florals, with wonderful patchouli, incense and amber! Lasts for ages, is lovely and strong…….and the bottle is fantastic!!!

Brooks Brothers you have done well with your perfumes. The bottle is lovely and strong and stout. The juice within is nice and has a pleasant aroma but it’s somewhat of a fader. Not a power perfume however it still is beautiful and worth owning. I get a spice note here not overly floral. I think it’s a safe blind buy. I do prefer and love Madison by BB.. you cannot beat that one.

Just got it today and tried it after bath.
This is absolutely divine!
I can smell the citrus in it, but the main notes are definitely incense, amber, and patchouli, which are my favorite notes ever.
This is so elegant and it smells expensive, rich, and sophisticated; very warm and seductive.
It’s not suitable for my age yet, but I’ll treasure it until I get into my mid 20s.
btw, as a Chinese I am very impressed by the bottle. It’s just Gorgeous!
