Share what you noticed: opening, drydown, sillage and the moments when it works for you.
The classic that never fails. Starts citrusy and then turns into that mossy leather vibe of a vintage barbershop, 80s and 90s style. I have a soft spot for it because I first tried it in 2009, stopped using it in 2016, and brought it back in 2023 via eBay, though it did cost me an arm and a leg.
Its warm, woody notes wake me up and leave a masculine, seductive trail. The scent envelops you with great intensity, bringing back unforgettable memories and awakening something special within. A true olfactory treasure.
Starts quite spicy, probably due to the cardamomo, but then this ingredient fades into the background.
