  As soon as I heard something new was coming, I ordered a sample because it’s my favourite house. It’s hard to explain; more than a scent, it’s a feeling: being in a forest with freshly cut logs and cold air. Very masculine, dry, and woody. Fresh, but with a balsamic, chilly freshness, like the signature scent of a man in his 40s or 50s. It’s not for showing off or dominating a party, but it’s one of those aromas that gets etched into the memory of someone you’re interested in. Reminds me a bit of Mechant Loup and Fou d’Absinthe. These are first impressions; I’ll test it on my skin and if I notice anything else, I’ll update you all 🙂

  It’s a wood that surprises you the moment you open it: smells like freshly cut hay, a scent typical of summer in the northern French countryside. Very fresh, green, and uplifting. I didn’t notice the vetiver at all, which is great because I’m not a huge fan, just a hint at the base. It reminds me of Oriza Legrand’s Foin fraîchement coupé, but this is much softer and less vintage. Feels modern, light, and very wearable. Doesn’t smell like a stiff old man or a boy with Invictus; it has a semi-formal, masculine character, though with that neutral hay note, I wouldn’t mind it on a girl either. 9/10 because it brings back memories of road trips through the countryside 😄
