My bottle is an EdC and is certainly light – but very nice!
Terrific opening of herbs and citrus! Detecting spicy florals are peaking through before some more sweetness comes through as we go into the heart.
This is a clean unisex floral bouquet affair dominated by spicy carnation, touches of lavender and jasmine sambac. There’s a waxy quality I associate with flower absolutes, with an amber support. Flowers and greenery.
Quickly, the sharp opening fades into a skin scent as hints of funk rise from the base – a distinct honey character that could be something like civet and “soil”? Beeswax. Like sticking your head in a jar of wildflower honey. Subtle vetiver in the background providing support, maybe even patchouli.
Regarding “woody notes” as listed above, I do detect a coniferous presence (pine needles in the top accord?) and there may be a bit of cedar, but it’s not particularly upfront. The dominant accord in the base is a gentle amber, with musk lurking nearby, though there could be a supporting fir absolute in there too. Overall the accord is very light compared to the opening, in typical EdC fashion.
Later, the mineralic character comes to the fore, and it’s quite nice! Not rock like geosmin, more humus-like, fresh damp undergrowth soil – oakmoss probably. This is a unique part of the composition!
Would love an EdT.

I purchased this on eBay Spring 2016. At first, it’s light and refreshing, but gets icky as it warms up. Smells like I used baby wipes on my hands and neck.
Not particularly green or fresh. Smells more floral than woody. Didn’t get any “soil tincture”.
Light green juice in a charming glass bottle with an illustration of people in fancy dress walking a sun-dappled forest path.
