this is the best scent i’ve ever smelt in my life. It’s a very very green, fougére that minds me of a musky, woody, piece of green clover☘️ and its phenomenal.
A beautiful woody citrus that opens more citrus heavy but finishes woody and a little musky. Like any fragrance the performance depends on the person, I find it to be very long lasting especially when sprayed on clothes, 12+ hours easy. Projection is moderate, starts out the strong the first hour than tapers off and remains constant. Overall a very pleasant and clean woods and citrus scent that is very unoffensive, my personal signature scent. Obviously it is a creed fragrance so quite pricey but you get what you pay for.
For years, I strongly disliked this fragrance—when tested on paper, it always reminded me of a citronella candle. However, a few weeks ago, I decided to give it another chance and picked up a sample. To my surprise, it transformed beautifully on the skin, shedding the citronella-like note entirely. Instead, I was greeted with an unexpectedly pleasant bright, green, refreshingly fresh fragrance.
This experience taught me the importance of testing fragrances on the skin, as they can evolve unexpectedly and delightfully. I highly recommend sampling this scent before committing to a purchase. To provide some context, the shift between how this fragrance smells on paper versus the skin reminds me of Le Labo Santal 33. On paper, Santal 33 can have a peculiar dill pickle-like note, but it develops into something truly fantastic on the skin. Similarly, this fragrance might surprise you once it interacts with your skin's chemistry.
