Totally confused by this fragrance. It’s either a work of stirring, modern, genius or a unusual and synthetic take on the classical citrus fragrance. The base is just plain aroma chemical woody warmth, I’m not saying I don’t like it, in fact I’m very fond of it this sort of stuff, just seems like an odd and jarring sidestep for this line, (certainly the green and citrus ones anyway) and left me a little confused. I got Basenotes of synthetic Amberone cedar, and even synthetic Oud but definitely a heavy leathery slightly smoky accord. The citrus opening isn’t even that bright or dominant to mask this effect, and Citron Noir comes straight out of the bottle a touch on the harsh side for me. As I mentioned I do kinda like it but not enough to buy or wear again.
