Latest Reviews of Distiller's Blend / Reserve Blend

If this is whiskey, then it is a Whiskey Sour cocktail. I get a strong citrus note running through all stages of this scent, even though it is not listed. There is a sweetness, too, which is a hallmark of that cocktail (a Whiskey Sour has only three ingredients: whiskey, lemon juice and simple syrup, traditionally garnished with a Maraschino cherry). Instead of being a smoky, woody, boozy blend, I think that it is more of a rich citrus scent, more along the lines of Dunhill’s Icon than boozy scents like Bentley for Men Intense.

This perfume smells overly synthetic with a sweetness that is cloying to me. It does last, that's for sure, but it beats my nose to a pulp in the process and I have to throw up the white flag and scrub it off.
The body wash by contrast smells like a whiskey that's been aged in an oak cask...why couldn't they have just reproduced that smell with the fragrance? It makes no sense. Thumbs up for the body wash and way down for the fragrance.

Not getting any boozy notes. Actually, I feel like all of the listed notes aren't reflected in this scent.
It reminds me of a less musky version of Bulgari Tygar. Lots of synthetic, candied grapefruit and ambroxan. I also see comparisons with TdH. I guess so, but this is sweeter and cleaner, there's no dirty orange in Reserve Blend.
Performance is solid for me with good projection and 10+ hours longevity. I can still smell it on clothes the following day.
