I love bright uplifting tea fragrances and this could be described just that way, however something in here doesn't work. The top notes seem a little like citrus/petitgrain/verbena to me and then there's a strong cedar and a hint of something more interesting perhaps the Myrrh and cardamom which actually give this fragrance some depth. It's an odd one this, I honestly don't really get it? Perfectly wearable and nothing wrong with it, the drydown has some interesting element (again I can't place?) that makes it seem very high quality. It could be rose? It's very very faint but that could be it. It's a sharp musky fragrance and I have to be brutal, I don't think I'd wear it. Longevity was okay and it's certainly a bit of an enigma.
