Its weird. Really weird. Maybe maceration will help this? Just got in mail so I'm letting it chill awhile. Smells old man-ish. Kinda terrible. Update July 15th 2026: A month into maceration and it's still manly. Like grandpa's aftershave. So far this is a hard pass for me. (I'm a 60 year old woman) Maybe it will smell better on my husband - But, I can't see it. Right now, it smells like an old 1970s grandpa scent. Not digging it. I sprayed it on a piece of clothing. A week later, I can still smell this God awful fragrance in my closet. Why is it that great fragrances don't last - but awful scents hang around for eternity?

For a paper test, I'm unsure if I like this scent. It took me a minute to place a note, but I'm getting campho-phenique memories. I might be getting a little of the pineapple. It's so weird, I keep going back to smell it. Maybe the juniper is what is giving the camphor scent. Kind of medicinal. I don't know...I'll have to think about it and try to it on skin sometime. UPDATE: 11/10/25, Man alive, this is strong on my skin! The opening is harsh juniper, and that seems to be it. I've been wearing it about 5 mins now and I need to go scrub it off. This is just pure wood, no vanilla or amber, JUST WOOD.
