I'm that strangely twisted person with a sense of humor that actually bought this fragrance because I thought I would have horse in a bottle. Takes over an hour for the cinnamon to dissipate enough to discern the more subtle notes present at first.Not only did it fail to produce my grandfather's pipe scent but there was no pony to be had. Cinnamon and Leather Nods of sandlewood....two hours in and still no pony. Since the horse smell is one of the finest in the world I was expecting more than hot leather which was bold and enduring. This scent is masculine and usuable.It's a bad buy if you are looking for horse, hot, sweaty, hours-ridden horse. Or your grandfather's cigars. This scent made me realize that my grandfather smoked cheap pipe tobacco cigars. And while I adore pulling open a fresh Romeo y Julietta. This is closer to the tobacco scent that unfolds as the top note. Yes that's right the cinnamon is the middle. Tobacco the middle, and leather is the base note. But nowhere is the smell of the animal horse present. Unless the association of riding in a hot leather saddle is the automatic association. For me having ridden backbare for years and english huntseat, horse smells leather in this case. Not unappealling or offensive in any way. Glad I bought it to investigate. Three hours in smoky pungeance is released after doing cardio and light house work.

I originallly npurchased this as a "manly" scent for shaving cream and some mandles. It's absolutely perfect. I don't even like the smell of cigars but this scent has a delicate sweetness that reminds me of my Uncle's tobacco pipe. I liked it so much I bought more. A definite keeper!

Smells like those expensive cigar stores. Doesn't irritate skin. Lingers throughout the day.

A little different scent, makes a great man candle or soap. It's a tobacco musky spice smell.

Smells fantastics, blends well in bee wax candles

Just got it! Plan to use it in my CP soap and possibly hot process shave soap. Straight out of the bottle it smells unbelievable! Hopefully it holds up...will update once I have made and cured soap. Only suggestion...please make sure those caps are tight before sending. I could smell the fragrance through the box and it was only ever so slightly leaking, as in the outside of the bottle was oily and I had to wipe it but negligible amount...cap was loose and could have been worse. Luckily smell is delightful!

Hit the nail on the head with this one. Smells like a fresh box of Cuban cigars!!!

The scent smells a bit like red hot candies with a hint of tobacco. I like it though.

I can't wait to try this in something! It smells wonderful out of the bottle. Just like grandpa's pipe.
