Loads of sharp grapefruit and citrus then the dry peppery Terre d'Hermes effect with vetiver and a very pronounced cardamom note...a clear composition of citrus/vetiver with a little spice executed in textbook fashion. This is similar to lots of fragrances and things I like but somehow I just can't get excited about it. It's alright....I would certainly wear it no problem at all...but wouldn't seek it out.
