Starts with a citrus and eucalyptus burst that smells like VapoRub, almost like a bathroom cleaner that makes you frown. But once it settles, it leaves a bitter chinotto trail and a Coca-Cola scent so real it feels like you’re drinking it from a glass or sucking on a gummy. It has a creamy, balsamic base with a smoky touch from incense and absinthe, giving it body without overdoing it. Longevity is decent if it’s cool (up to 9 hours with few sprays), but in heat it lasts around 6 hours with heavy projection. Use it whenever you want; it’s versatile for summer or fall. It’s a strange, unique, and totally standout fragrance.

It’s a rare and fascinating fragrance, nothing like it in my olfactory experience. The opening is a mentholated eucalyptus explosion, like a blob of chlorophyll; it smells synthetic but is addictive. It evaporates quickly, leaving a strong olfactory memory before giving way to a deep, bitter chinotto. As it dries, it becomes sweet and resinous, with a green note that keeps it vibrant. It’s good and curious, reasonably priced, unisex, and versatile, though maybe not for the most extreme days or very formal occasions. It suits everything, except that it doesn’t quite make me fall in love enough to buy it yet.

It’s a very uncommon formula. The opening smells straight of eucalyptus, reminiscent of classic Vicks VapoRub. As it dries, that sensation disappears and amber appears with an incense that sounds more ecclesiastical than frankincense or Omani incense. I see it as ideal for fall, winter, and early spring, geared toward adults over 30. As I always say: use it whoever wants, whenever they want, and however they please.
