Open with a wonderful subtle sweet kind of pinny citrus note almost powdery its a pleasant scent not overwhelming at all. I sprayed 10 sprays the citrus hung around for a good 30 minutes. After an hour or so I was getting more of the woody notes still light pine/cedar scent. Its very well blended almost crisp/ bright simply appealing you want to keep smelling it. Projection it's not more than arms length perfect for gym or office setting. I can see this as a daily scent. Longevity wise no more than 6 hours on skin
