Share what you noticed: opening, drydown, sillage and the moments when it works for you.
Starts sweet like talc, an iris wrapped in well-sugared mandarin that drops in intensity after an hour to become very woody, turning into hot honey. That beeswax doesn’t smell like burnt candle but rather a cup of honey, accompanied by sandalwood and a super recognisable cedar. The dry-down is that talcum-powdered iris, sweet and woody, which lasts until the ninth hour in the cold, but in spring/summer it seems to stay with you all day. I recommend it year-round, though in extreme heat it’s too much and you feel suffocated; watch your sprays according to the temperature. It goes perfectly with a polo or shirt, but also looks sharp with a blazer, sophisticated without being pretentious. If it’s a one, it’s the one in the sample: get one. Note: there’s a 2015 version and a 2023 version; I bought the discovery set in February, so I assume it’s the 2023 one. In short: another iris scent, but by a different route.
