Avant Garde

This fragrance smells awesome! It's a sweet and spicy fragrance. It starts off spicy then quickly becomes sweet with that honey note once it starts to dry down. The cardamom is there but takes a back seat to the honey. In the full dry-down, the tobacco and amber become noticeable with the tobacco being the prominent note. Performance is decent as I get 8 to 9 hours on my skin with a couple of hours of projection. 👌🏼
