  I love it; I feel unique wearing it. It’s fresh and green, but not so much that it’s only for summer like citrus scents. The violet is noticeable but so subtle it doesn’t seem floral. Plus, it’s not super common, which is a bonus.

  I agree that the violet is subtle and doesn’t make it floral. It’s green-woody, but on my skin it turns sweet quickly. I don’t smell patchouli, but I do get the rest of the notes. I don’t understand why it sweetens up a minute after application (maybe it’s the violet, which never smells like that on me). But I’m not complaining; it smells great and the sandalwood is divine.

  Supposedly for men.

  What a piece of perfume, for god’s sake. It smells like vetiver wrapped in a magical, refined blend, with a tiny salty note I can’t pinpoint but is just incredible. It’s not gourmand, though that salty sweetness is impressive. I’m speechless. The longevity and sillage are good, but it’s one of those I’d buy just to sniff even if it didn’t last. Every time I smell it, I sigh like an idiot.

  Starts with a hit of pill-like violet that then settles into green leaf and vetiver. The opening is strong, but it fades in intensity to become very soft at the end, with patchouli, cedar, and sandalwood. I liked it; it’s a good unisex for hot weather if you enjoy green scents, but on my skin it doesn’t last or project much. Pleasant: 7/10 Interesting: 6/10 Versatile: 6/10 Original: 7/10
