  1. ShiseidoTactics

    I agree with the previous reviewer, except that my decant smells more like the citrus and herbal colognes from Colonias than a vetiver-focused scent; the trail is very low. I wouldn’t pay that much for the bottle, but it’s a delightful fragrance.

  2. Carcanuelo

    Green and clean, right between Green Irish Tweed and Himalaya: less soapy than the latter, more luminous and less restrained than the former. A delicious scent, masculine yet approachable. A Creed creation that I’m not sure is a great designer perfume or a quality niche with little creativity for its price. Average performance, I wear it year-round, especially in spring and summer. Ideal as a signature scent from 25/30 years old, very versatile without reaching the elegance of Green Irish Tweed.
