What wearers say
“Opens with a bright burst of juicy lemon, and as it dries down you get a fresh, masculine and well-blended mix of woody, floral and herbal notes. The dry down feels a bit muted compared to the opening. Great summer fragrance but is suitable all year around. The only major downside is the performance, but the fragrance is honestly so good that I don't mind. I'd love to try a vintage bottle.”
“I have a recent batch late 2023. I sprayed 1 on hand and one on chest at 7:30am and it’s now 8:30pm I’m still getting strong wafts of the soapy musky dry down. It’s performed beautifully in a temp controlled office all day. I can smell it which is most important, not sure about others so I can’t speak on sillage.I had a batch from 2022 and it didn’t perform as well as this.Scent is exactly the same.”
“Honestly can't understand why anyone wouldn't love this. It doesn't smell like "old man" in any way. Does it smell similar to scents from certain eras? Yeah it absolutely does, but It smells very fresh, clean and classy. Honestly can't get enough of this beautiful stuff. Great for Spring/Summer or in an office environment.”
