Later edit after trying philostikos: it's 95% of philosikos. This is actually sort of dissapointing because this is not marketed (nor priced) like a dupe. This makes me think of slick, green, milky, powdery anise. It's fresh and slightly mysterious at the same time, as if it's inviting you but without giving everything away. However, it dries up to a very clean barbershop smell - it transports me to the moment right after getting a haircut and getting my hair washed. I like what the top notes say more than the drydown. It's probably the most easily wearable of the cpt fawcett lineup.

In my opinion this is the best Captain Fawcett fragrance (I tested all aside from the one with rose), it's a nice green fragrance, seems a little sweet, but is aromatic enough to let you know it's a fragrance for men. It's a little mysterious and different from others, but in my experience it's not very liked by the general public. Still, it's a very nice fragrance and I wish I had an occasion to wear it.

On my skin, this smells like freshly cut grass and summer. It reminds me of lying on the football (real football, not the American "football") pitch after practice on a warm and moist summer day in Norway. Not the strongest scent, but really fresh and unique imo.

It smells like your old uncle's house where the walls are covered with framed insect collections and wood bookshelves with many vintage books nicely organized, with an occasional Playboy from the 70s and 80s. Dry, powdery/dusty, weird. I mean I am an open minded person and own many odd fragrances, but this one to me is just flat out freaky. I house it next to Versace Dreamer, which I also can't understand. It isn't bad, and I can see some hipsters loving it.

Probably my favourite from the captain Fawcett line. A smooth opening with tufts of sweet rosemary and a backdrop of Mediterranean fig leaf. There's a powdery feel to all the notes and a sliver of citrus along for the ride. Its probably one of the easier to wear of the line. Shame it dissapates very quickly, after a couple of hours there isn't even any noticible skin scent.
