I DO get why some people find this boring, especially if you’ve been doing this for a few years and are in deep. It’s very Essence of Men’s Cologne, nothing groundbreaking, “Blue” in that That’ll Do way. But I just love it every time I put it on. It’s mature without feeling old, masculine without smelling like you’ve spent a day up a tree smoking. On me it’s got a sweetened muskiness as it dries down that every time I get a whiff of it I feel good about myself. Today I wore it with a brown corded shirt/jacket thing, a white tee and jeans and it all felt very correct, the smell matched the ensemble. When I can pull it off to where I think the look matches the aroma I always feels like I’ve done good.
