Starts with a citrus and eucalyptus burst that smells like VapoRub, almost like a bathroom cleaner that makes you frown. But once it settles, it leaves a bitter chinotto trail and a Coca-Cola scent so real it feels like you’re drinking it from a glass or sucking on a gumdrop. It has a creamy, balsamic base with a smoky touch from the incense and absinthe, giving it body without overdoing it. Longevity is good if it’s cool (up to 9 hours with few sprays), but in the heat it lasts around 6 hours with heavy projection. Use it whenever you like; it’s versatile for summer or autumn. It’s a strange, unique, and totally distinctive fragrance.
A rare and fascinating fragrance, with nothing like it in my olfactory experience. The opening is a mentholated explosion of eucalyptus, like a blob of chlorophyll; it smells synthetic but is addictive. It evaporates quickly, leaving a strong olfactory memory before giving way to a deep, bitter chinotto. As it dries, it becomes sweet and resinous, with a green note that keeps it vibrant. It’s good and curious, reasonably priced, unisex and versatile, though perhaps not for the most extreme days or very formal occasions. Everything suits it, except that it doesn’t quite captivate me enough to buy it yet.
A very uncommon formula. The opening smells straight of eucalyptus, reminiscent of classic Vicks VapoRub. As it dries, that sensation disappears and amber appears with an incense that sounds more ecclesiastical than frankincense or Omani incense. I see it as ideal for autumn, winter and early spring, aimed at adults over 30. As I always say: use it whoever wants, whenever they want, and as they please.
