Description
“Mysterious citrus-woody perfume with the addition of flower essences is lasting, memorable and charismatic. This fragrance is like a masterpiece of perfumery, it combines several facets. These faces form a true perfumery jewel, which is prestigiously to have.
Beginning scent is a fresh harmony of anise, lemon, bergamot and basil. Flower “heart” of perfume is represented with eucalyptus, lavender and geranium. The final scent of this multi-faceted symphony is vetiver, patchouli and cedar.” – a note from the brand.

I was initially attracted to this little known brand by the bottle design (similar to a certain brand of Cognac’s XO) in a specialist niche boutique, so went on to try several and eventually settled on this one. Only afterwards did I realize that Fragrantica classified this as For Men, the fragrance could easily be worn by female devotees of woody notes.
There is an Aquatic/ Ozonic element in the initial freshness that somehow was belied by the Woody Aromatic label, it certainly is less Woody”than Feminite du bois. Soft, airy top notes (citrus + marine) gradually settling into a light patchouli/ vetiver base, with just a hint of spice.
