Scent Description
Signature is an extremely masculine scent which is a unique formulation from the mind of Peter Charkalis. The scent notes are straightforward, Bourbon on top followed by a strong hit of Tobacco ending in Sandalwood and Agarwood. Upon first encounter, Signature has a slightly sweet and intoxicating bouquet, likely due to the bourbon, but the tobacco quickly takes over and as it dries down the woods come increasingly to the fore. What's left is a deep, dry, woody and slightly boozy aroma, with lots of tobacco which is sophisticated and manly, but not subtle. Possibly a bit assertive for the office.
