This is a great scent but i am not getting the Oud, nutmeg or lavender. I will let it macerate a few weeks. i got a strong alcohol smell on first spray as well. Usually when i get that, i feel like the scent needs to air and sit.
But dont get me wrong, it smells great and i will be wearing it. I am just tired of pineapple scents, similar smelling spicy scents and purely leather scents.
