The Need To Fly starts of as a crisp tonic bases summer cocktail, with fresh spices. After one hour it reminds me a bit more of absinth, with a crispy fennel/anise combined with some fresh woodiness. At the end, an hour or 4-5 into the fragrance’s life you get a soft skin like woody freshness with a very soft like leathery note. It is a very lovely daily scent that gives the wearer a nice evolution in fragrance. It’s a lovely crisp fresh fragrance that comes to it own on a lovely warm day.
