  1. ShiseidoTactics

    I agree with the previous reviewer, though my decant smells more like the citrus and herbal colognes from Colonias than a vetiver-led fragrance; the trail is very faint. I wouldn’t pay the bottle price, but it’s a delightful scent.

  2. Green and clean, halfway between Green Irish Tweed and Himalaya: less soapy than the latter, more luminous and less constrained than the former. A delicious, masculine yet amiable scent. A Creed creation that I’m unsure is a great designer perfume or a quality niche with little creativity for its price. Average performance; I wear it all year, especially in spring and summer. Ideal as a signature scent from 25/30 years old, very versatile without reaching the elegance of Green Irish Tweed.
