At the office it unanimously slayed Tom Ford’s Tobacco Vanille. Gourmand woody cherry vanilla whipped cream. Stellar performance, excellent choice for a sweet gourmand-ish scent.

I actually put this on yesterday at 4pm and today I woke up at 9am (so I’m going on 18 hours so far) for work and it’s still so potent that I don’t even have to reapply after showering. The craziest part is that 18 hours later I can’t smell it on my arm (must have rubbed off while sleeping) but I can still smell it projecting off my neck and I asked my girlfriend and she said she can smell it from about an arms length. Now this is the first time that it did perform this well. It usually only last about 15 hours, at least from what I can tell. It’s so delicious and almost creamy. It’s far from being synthetic, it’s noticeably high in quality and becomes extremely smooth after the dry down, although it can be harsh in the opening if over sprayed.I had about four compliments yesterday from a couple ladies at Saks while shopping with my girlfriend. She complimented it as well but she always does because she bought it for me because she loves it. I had one interesting compliment though, one of the ladies said I smelled like a delicious hot, cinnamon chai latte, something I have never really thought of and on my skin it actually does smell like that and I love it even more now. Warning, don’t over spray!
By the way I honestly hated this fragrance when my girlfriend gave it to me. I didn’t tell her of course, but the top notes reminded me of those cinnamon scented pine cones that actually make me sick but after I gave it a shot I realized it’s not that at all.
Anyway here’s my review.
Scent: 9.5/10 gorgeous scent. The opening is nice but the dry down is where this shines.
Sillage: 10/10 excellent without ever being cloying
projection: 10/10 a little more than arms length for the first 6 hours for me and a little less than arms length after that but for me it never becomes a skin scent.
Longevity: 10/10 15+ hours
Overall: 9.9/10

Little bit of a re-visiting re-review since ive gotten to wear this a bit more…
I agree with the general idea I first said in my original review. Something like a vanilla whip cream with cherry on top, on a sorta wooden incense stick. That is giving off a comfortable non harsh aura of tobacco. The boozyness of it would be the tinge and tingle of the perhaps cherry liquor or a vanilla cherry coke.
I do agree there is a very slight tobacco vanillish aspect to it, more particularly in the opening when the spices are stronger.
But lets get to what id like to add to my original review. I think this one wearing this more in the very cold weather actually smells a little better when its a little hotter out. The colder weather really makes the cold whip cream, the juiciness of the cherry, the cinnamon mix, and that tingle and tinge on the nose from the varnished oud note really come out more. The “cold” tickle if you will thought comes out more, and its a little less snuggly to me I think.
I would say as well to add more to what I said about despite the notes this is not a harsh fragrance at all so they can be misleading. And indeed not only not harsh, although I havnt worn this a lot as is, around girls and other people I was getting a lot of comments that they found it to sweet, hell I got multiple comments that I was way to masculine to wear anything this sweet. lol
Dont get me wrong I did have some girls tell me they liked it, and heard some unsolicited comments to that effect. But again adding to what I said strangely despite the notes is not harsh, and potentially even to SWEET if anything it seems for some. Its not to me but take that as you will.
Also deceptive performance at first.. Just 2 sprays to my neck nearly chocked me out for the first couple hours lol.

Cinnamon bomb, almost like a Christmas potpourri candle (I can’t stand the smell of potpourri). In the dry down I get the same wood note as a $8/bottle from Kanon Norwegian Wood. I was excited about this, but it’s too much on the candied cinnamon, plus the mundane cheap woody dry down. Pass.
Астап – :
Oh my… a little heavy on the cinnamon but my god what a unique fragrance. By far one of my favorites. The projection is through the roof & longevity is a stellar performance at roughly 10+ hours on my skin. Doesn’t take much so go easy but at this price, it’s what should be expected… ABSOLUTELY ADORE THIS FRAG!

Smells similar to Roja Parfums Enigma (known as Creation-E in the USA).
Roger Dove finally gets a taste of his own medicine what with copying other already-existing scents.

I chose “all” as to the time to wear, but don’t really mean it literally…what I mean is that it’s definitely more of a night-out, cooler weather (if worn in the daytime) type of fragrance. Right away, it can be clawing…the cinnamon and spiciness of the clove DOMINATE the opening, for about the first 10-15 minutes. But hold on….when the initial shock wears off, this stuff is gorgeous! the amber and Tonka really start to show their proverbial faces, with the cinnamon sticking around, just reminding you that it’s there, but in a much more toned-down way. I’ve heard of there being a cherry/vanilla soda feel to this, and I get that a little bit, but not in any negative way (as in, “this is too sweet”) but in a complementary manner to the ever-present spiciness. Further dry-down brings a nice smooth creaminess that makes me keep wanting to smell my points of contact (arms) to keep enjoying it as much as I can. Great stuff!

Considering the notes this is deceptively, if not exceptionally smooth. Ive been meaning to try this since it came out, but looking at the notes I was a little worried that maybe it might be a little harsh/funky/or to masculine.. And even reading some of the reviews some people talking about that it was to strong, or even to sweet….
Well I don’t think that should be a problem for anyone. I don’t think its to sweet at all, only thing I can say is, it is thick and rich, so I can see if you don’t like sweet scents at all, or don’t want something thick, than maybe it might irk you. But in terms of actual sweetness it isnt very high on that scale.
Speaking of the notes again I don’t like to use the term “well blended” really that you see so often used by some reviewers because honestly it feels disingenuous to me. I don’t care how many fragrances ive smelled, I don’t make perfume so who am I to say how something is made. And certainly at the same time something overly synthetic as well can smell just as good as something “well blended” so what does that even really mean at the end of the day?
But my point is though again looking at the notes anything that potentially could seem harsh, i get nothing of, its just extremely smooth, maybe there is a slight kick at the beginning but really nothing. No sharp edges to this at all. Because of that even perhaps the performance is sadly only decent because there really isn’t much to tickle your nose to really catch others attention.
Anyway what does it smell like, im having trouble pin pointing anything. I do agree maybe its kinda a cherry liquer sorta smell, a vanilla cherry coke. Maybe even something like a cherry wood incense stick that is giving off a slight tobacco, woody, cherry, aura. And again i say aura, not a smoke, or incense it self because the fragrance is just so damn smooth I feel like calling it any kinda smoke would not be doing it justice, and therefor even this thought is not correct…
Maybe a dark wooden room, theres some vanilla candles in the air. The only thing that is bringing light to it as its night. Theres a red hue in the room from the light reflecting your surroundings. There might be a fireplace because its warm inside, but you can’t smell anything harsh, all you smell is this comfortable aura that makes you want to close your eyes and cuddle. Or well depending on how many hot girls you are with you probably wanna smash all night too…
So ya I struggle to say what it smells like or what it calls to mind specifically but it is a very nice snuggly, potentially sexy and even a little tasty aura to it.
Very wearable again, not particularly masculine either in my mind. Just a nice smell.
Can’t justify the price with my disposable income for fragrances as it is, but maybe when the time comes ill get a decant of it.

Five stars for the bottle and packaging presentation. Love the way you push a button and the nozzle protector slides away. Spicy and sweet. The ginger, oud and clove dominate for the first 10-20 minutes. After an hour or so, the amber and cinnamon notes are there, giving it a very intense heart. Two hour out and the vanilla keeps it very creamy and rich. It has absolutely incredible longevity, 12 hours and I’m still getting a whiff every now and then. Sillage is very good, and never cloying. Top notch.

This is one of those fragrances that not everyone can ( or should) wear.
This is not for a wallflower. It has personality and it will bring attention to you like it or not.
The notes are warm, yet they stay subtle, restraining their power.
I’m guessing 001 can be cloying if over sprayed but if you are careful this is a delightful fragrance.
Attractive and oh so masculine.
A wonderful discovery.

I wanted to love this I really did. It has a beautiful woodsy tonka cherry vibe that if I didn’t know better I would assume is meant to compete with Feve Deliciuse.
It falls flat on performance though. I have since tried my own bottle, a tester in a store, and an official sprayer sample from HOS (not a decant or luckyscent sample) just to make sure and all of them just fall flat on their face.
Mit races to the drydown in under 30 minutes and stops projecting after 10. Seriously. I have thisty skin but come on this is unacceptable.
Dior Prive has historically poor projection on me but when Feve Deliciuse is outperforming a House of Sillage? Back to the drawing board folks.
I wanted to love this. I really did.
Scent: 8/10 gorgeous woodsy slightly powdery gourmand. Could have easily been a signature.
Projection: 2/10 weaksauce.
Sillage: 1/10 it leaves no train.
Longevity: 3/10 it’s only detectable as a point-blank skin scent after the first hour and pretty much fades entirely after the third hour post-application.
Would I buy another bottle? No. At HOS prices and with their reputation I expected way more. A disappointing showing.
hec412elipseskism – :
The opening can be very harsh, reminds me of cough syrup or some kind of medicine, but the drydown is amazing, very sophisticated and rich, like some very creamy, gourmand pastry. The only downside is that is very pricey. I got myself a decant and I don’t think I will go for a fb.

Beautiful Gourmandish Cherry Oud. Liqueur Cherry bon-bon. Do not overspray it. Let your nose get use to it and you’re just gonna love it. My shirt is still screaming HOS 001 from the laundry

Smelled on a paper strip: This is a strong, boozy, cherry liquor scent. The oud in it is near the medicinal, cough syrup quality of the original YSL M7… My first take on it was that I liked this, but I’m not sure I could smell it on myself all day. Big WOW Factor.
