Vocation dgr01

I really like this! Citrusy and zesty-clean at first, reminiscent of classy old-school aftershaves like those of Royall Lyme Bermuda or Caswell Massey. Has an earthy sweetness that soon emerges too (the amber and patchouli), but it keeps that citrus freshness to balance it, which gives the scent something of a Guerlain vibe. But unlike the vanishing act many of the citrusy/soapy Guerlains pull on me, Vocation has oomph and staying power—kind of like it got a dose of Kouros’s aggressive soapiness. As I’m a fan of soapy scents, I am enjoying this one!

I don't recall how I came across this brand, but it was while I was trying to find a signature scent for my new job in an office management position. I knew nothing about notes at the time, and I was surprised that a supposedly "unisex" scent smelled so masculine. This is very strong, projects well, and is smooth, but overwhelming. I would say only reserve for summer nights or cooler days.
