Incredible fragrance, what a pity it doesn’t last at all. Starts citrusy, though the spices and that green/mossy note dominate. Drying down to sandalwood, woods and more moss, with an almost imperceptible sweetness that makes it wearable. The scent is powdery and woody, very interesting and well-blended; I struggle to separate the notes. Ideal for intermediate climates and semi-formal events. It’s masculine, but the flaw is the longevity: it fades quickly on my skin.
