Wow! This has a bright, aldehydic, musky opening as the name might suggests couple with the growing rose note it's even slightly metallic, certainly clean and with the tinniest hint of geranium. It's vaguely chypre-esque and does have a nod to the Encens one (either new or old) in style. It's very good just not my bag...but I would try it again and give a proper wear but I doubt my feelings would change all that much.
