Yeah, it’s a little harsh for some modern noses, and yeah it’s super green and earthy, but it’s not really playing it safe and that makes fragrances stand out. I can see how it might be a little challenging at first. This review is from a 1993 vintage sample splash bottle. I liked it, but I wouldn’t buy a full bottle, I just want it in my scent library as a piece of history. UPDATE: a little over a month later, and I’m really liking the scent profile. I’ll probably buy a full bottle (albiet it will be reformulated), crossing my fingers but it’s not a huge gamble. UPDATE: Bought the new formulation and I freaking LOVE it. I recently smelled a few modern men’s fragrances, most with sweet hints of vanilla, sugar, blah blah blah. The colors of the bottle and cap (dark green and dark brown) are perfectly suited to the scent. I love the complete lack of sweetness here. This scent is so beautifully masculine. I get the green notes, the pine, the leather, and the tobacco. I don’t mind smelling like someone’s uncle in the 80’s. It’s not one to wear if you want to get a young lady’s attention. It works in a club (assuming you time travel to the 80’s). It’s one to wear if you are working. Maybe outdoors. Quorum changes here and there. It comes across soapy and green one minute, and dirty and woody the next. It’s so worth the price even if blind buying. Wear it with confidence. Wear it because you like it. You will stand out in the crowd as a man who is comfortable in his own skin. Not a party bro looking for compliments.
