  1. Fresh and long-lasting, it smells super clean with an insane sillage. What a great surprise: starts with lemon and apple, then shifts to cedar and patchouli. It’s excellent, very clean with a soapy touch, and impressive for how long it lasts on the skin. Perfect for all year round, any time of day, though maybe best in spring or summer.
