Share what you noticed: opening, drydown, sillage and the moments when it works for you.
I tried it a few hours before buying it, and it’s a super woody scent that really stands out in cold environments. The longevity is incredible, lasting over 12 hours, and it lingers on clothes for days: even after washing the shirt at the weekend, it still smells of lotion. Given its strong woody character, I don’t think it’s for younger people; it’s better suited for those 25 and above, but it’s an excellent purchase. I paid for it in 2022 at $137, and now I can find it in 50ml.
