Share what you noticed: opening, drydown, sillage and the moments when it works for you.
The classic that never fails. Starts citrusy before turning into that mossy leather of a vintage barbershop, 80s and 90s style. I have a soft spot for it as I first tried it back in 2009, stopped using it in 2016, and brought it back in 2023 via eBay, though it certainly cost me an arm and a leg.
Its warm, woody notes wake me up and leave a masculine, seductive trail. The scent envelops you with great intensity, bringing back unforgettable memories and stirring something special within. A true olfactory treasure.
Starts quite spicy, surely due to the cardamom, but then this ingredient fades into the background.
