I really like this scent. I believe that it is evocative of SUPER or UN for Men with the maple sort of hovering over everything else in the scent but first and foremost it is a spicy apple scent. It is a much more amber, apple tobacco type of scent. This is a very masculine scent and I'm honestly not sure if every guy is going to be able to pull it off. It might be a bit too masculine and yet too gourmand for some guys out there but I had a few women I know compliment me on how good I smelled (I've worn this 2 days in a row) and my bride has not complained about it. Odd as that sounds, that is a good thing. No complaints means that things are just fine with the scent. It is strong, masculine, and in my opinion, fantastic.

It starts out very spicy apple on me with the maple a strong addition but after it dries down, the sweet tobacco and amber come out to play with the apple and then the bourbon and maple play supporting roles in the background. It is fun to smell how this evolved on me where the apple always stayed part of the scent but the rest of the ingredients would take turns moving to the front and back as time wore on. This is a strong scent and at least in the spray version, I only needed 2 sprays to be noticed without being, 'cologne guy.'

The scent is exactly what I had in mind when I asked Mara for it. I wanted a spicy, boozy apple scent that was very masculine. She nailed it.

As for the phero blend, I don't know what more I can say about The Love God except to say that it works for me. I get attention and affection and I see a big difference when I wear it around my bride. It seems to make her happy. That alone, is worth it for me!

Mine is expected Tuesday or Wednesday. Can't wait to give it a run.

Snoops, is there any designer/niche scent out there to compare this scent too?

Hmmm... Nothing that I can think of that would begin to compare with this. If anyone else knows of a bourbon, amber, tobacco, maple scent that is a designer type scent I would love to know because I'd want to smell it.

Well, without the maple note...I am thinking possibilities:

Azzaro Acteur

Aubusson Homme (even though the note pyramid on fragrantica has no apple, it starts off with an apple pie note)

Davidoff Custom

Boss Number One

Bogart One Man Show Gold Editon

Another that might be close is Oajan from Parfums de Marly or Apple Crumbs from Alexandria Fragrances.

To Google!

Thanks for the heads up. Repped!

Maybe By Kilian Apple Brandy or Alexandria Fragrances Wasted Moment as well. Very strong boozy apple with a hint of tobacco scent.

Mine arrived today.
I was taking a break from mones but I smelt it in the bottle and I just had to try it.
There is not really much more I can add that Snoopy already hasn’t done so.
I was a bit afraid of being cologne guy because it has only been a few weeks since mixing.
But my friend hasn’t even commented on the scent, however I think her sense of smell isn’t that great anyway.
I got the extra cops and I can’t smell that either.
Honestly the scent is that good it covers all the mones. Not that I find TLG that strong a smell anyway. Even my bloodhound of a mother has never commented on raw LG, yet goes crazy on scented THU and BW.
It’s not a scent I would usually pick. But may ask my friend later what she thinks, and will ask friends tomorrow.

Sorry when I said not something I would usually pick, I still mean I really like it, just that it’s nothing like I have tried before.
