  1. pedjalazaro

    Neither do I love it nor does it repel me; it’s a rare fragrance I haven’t quite got a handle on. It opens with an aldehydic orange note that throws me a bit off, followed by honey and musk. It reminds me of Noontide Petals by Tauer. At first it seems to fade, but later it picks up again. It hasn’t thrilled me, but it suits all year round and is best for daytime. Longevity and sillage are moderate.

  2. A unisex scent with a masculine edge; initially, it smells of wet earth for about twenty minutes, perhaps due to the geranium, which I can’t quite place. After half an hour, it settles with a strong musk and aldehyde presence; the individual notes fade away, leaving only the blend: fresh and with a good trail. I like it, though it’s not for daily wear, but it doesn’t overpower and suits a formal man well.
