Holiday Bear Edition Polo Green

A pinier, fresher version of polo green.

Smells like a more modern Dos Santos by Cartier. Pretty intense, a formal meeting in an informal environment with a traditional emphasis. The pine is tricky and presents a medicinal challenge. Casually it could give life to a room with a Christmas tree in the corner. Strong no more then 2 or 3 spritz necessary. Into the mid the greens calm down. The next accord, leather reminds me of Gucci Guilty Absolute except instead of being coupled with booze there's the greens. The tobacco seems like squeeze play between the leather and green. All in all it comes out like a classic musk cologne on my skin. Like something with a date for a name. 3 hours and a half hours into it the Patchouli overcomes the other greens and the accumulation smells like mild vetiver with the still active tobacco pushing the musk agenda. The absence of a busy ambroxan like component makes this vintage - post modern. You can win with this once it settles into a natural state. They spent more money on this than the Black version. Matures into a natural smell, there's no synthetic copout. If this had a little something extra it could compete with colognes a lot more expensive. Maybe if the leather was a tad bit more prominent. By no means a cheapie its $100 pricing for 6.7 ounces is mid designer level. Good deal.

WOW^^... the bottle... my collage days scent. LOVE XX
