What wearers say
“I really like this fragrance. Punches above its weight given the affordable price. I just don't get woods at all. Is my nose completely off? I get light & sweet which reminds me of Byredo's Bal D'Afrique. And then I get green & aquatic in the summer sun which reminds me of Jo Malone's Wood Sage & Sea Salt (which I also like but gives me a headache).”
“i got used to it and the drydown is fresh but powdery pine and anise with a hint of orange, it's a very unisex fragrance. it's more playful than i expected. sadly it barely has any lasting power, it turns into a skin scent very quickly, so i won't be repurchasing.”
“The opening is dominated by pine and fir, but then it becomes more of a dry forest with guaiac wood and cedarwood dominating. It's somewhat similar to Zara Ebony Wood, but I still didn't like it. At least I can clearly smell the pine scent.”
