I feel quite privileged to be the first reviewer on this scent because I absolutely loved it! Not much rhyme or reason to my assessment just a brilliantly done, fresh fragrance which was love at first sniff. I've tried the EDC too and I have to say there's no comparison this one is better. I got a fresh fruity citrus/juniper type of opening from this juice, then a heavenly greeness which doesn't overstep it's bounds and somehow remains sweet. I'd say it's a fruity gentle musk in the main but what elevates it is the subtle hint of booze, tea, spices maybe some rose and the ambergris? I'm not saying I can smell all of these constituents but something is certainly contributing to making this a superior juice. To be honest, I only tried it in store on my skin once so I really need to get my hands on a sample to get a better idea of what's going on here? Longevity was okay but again I will need to try Old Bond Street Triple Extract to be more conclusive. To me this is a great, summer scent and not to be overlooked. Update: well I've managed to get my hands on several sample vials of this and the cologne version and I have to say I stick to my above statements. A refreshing yet warm, mellow vibe. This time I do get a huge dose of green slightly metallic tea (reminiscent of Creed silver mountain water) with delicate soapy cardamom at the back of it and a dry down that is laid back but impressive because this is such a gentle scent. It delivers on everything really and has a air of sophistication about it. Simple not earth shattering but I really love it!
