I think the first review pretty much nails it, however I think Bang! is spicy with pepper and actually has more of an edge. To say this doesn't last as long as Bang! a notoriously poor performer is really making a statement and I can't say I would disagree. This is not to say I don't like the smell of Tundra, it has a fantastic opening of fresh and vibrant elemi, greeness and slightly smokey cedar/vetiver combo. It has that uplifting (I often describe as 'fizzy') vibe you get from elemi which is like olibanum and fresh juniper/gin & tonic. Unfortunately it suffers the same problem as the 3% elemi dilution tester I got...it doesn't last. What you are left with is a very weak but pleasant cedar aroma. What I do like is that it develops past being just another incense fragrance into something woodier and generally a good ensemble of notes. Nothing high original but not bad stuff.
