This is embarrasing to admit, but I find this scent very sexy at the same time it reminds me a lot of my father's "official dress-up cologne" when I was in my early teens, Cacharel pour Homme. I've checked a description online and they both share the lavender, but there is something deeper than that. The leather tone, maybe? In any case, this smells like a nicer, mellowed and more complex version of my old favourite, which was very obviously a standard male cologne, while this makes me want to wear it myself.
