When I first started collecting fragrances, I got almost addicted to vetiver-based scents. But as time passed it turned almost 180 degrees finding the scent almost nauseous. Pretty strange, but maybe my brain/nose got a bit overdosed on it...?? Now it's all about oud and not least the beautiful patchouli, which this scent surprised me in having featured pretty dominantly. I get nice whiffs from mid to base, after a not so exciting opening. So give this a try and wait for the magic to happen.

Update 2023. Im still enjoying this. Longevity is above average. That dark blueberry like accord (could it be mix of apple and lavender not sure) is very nice and unique to my nose, citrus background also lasts quite a bit. Its a darker freshie for the summer, I dont have or encounter too many of them. Its a distant cousin of Lacoste L'homme intense, similar vibes but different profiles.

Darker blue, not as fresh and not as bright as your typical blue, it has some dirt, murkiness and ink vibes, still comes through as warm weather cologne but with some heavy shade. Its nice for what it is. Update: after several wears it finally hit me - this is giving me dark ripe blueberries, its a very nice accord, the more I wear it the more Im into it.

It's a really good perfume for hot weather In the opening you will smell a lot of ( citrusy and spicy notes ) Then after you wait for the scent to dry you will gonna smell the ( lavender with green apple ) and these notes you will still smell it until mixed with some woods ( In short it smells like a barber shop )
