This is an oldschool sophisticated spicy rose scent. It's very mature and reminds me of a fragrance I smelled on an uncle of mine a long time ago as a child growing up in the 1980's. Don't know if it'll draws compliments; I haven't worn it enough to tell yet. It won't replace my Dsquared Potion Royal Black or my Carter Declaration d' un Soir (2 fantastic masculine rose fragrances I might add), but Acteur Azzaro is still a very good value for a discontinued gem. Get it now before prices get ridiculous!
