I think this smells delicious! It smells like a yummy new age book and candle shop. I just want to wrap myself in something batik, light my candles and mist myself in this. It would absolutely smell great on men or women. I'd say this is my definition of a cozy fragrance, while also being very clean upon first spray.

This is quite nice, to my nose, and even fairly original. The opening mix of citrus and sweetness (tonka and vanilla) means it opens a bit like lemonade, but as it develops, the myrrh and the cloves and the amber become stronger. This is pretty pleasant, especially for the price--I suspect the less than stellar reviews have much to do with the fact that frangrance.net sends out free sample strips of this (which for some reason perfume buyers dislike from this company).

I like this. This is a nice warm spicy old fashioned fragrance. It smells the way men used to smell back in the 70's. I dislike so many male fragrances today. All the obnoxious aquatics and sharp juniper and herbal scents. This is a fatherly smell but in the best way. Kind of like Avon scents in the 70's. I got the impression of gingerbread at first smell. Warm, spicy, safe and cozy. Everything a kind man in your life makes you feel. Safe.

Personally, I think people are way too harsh on anything FragranceNet sends out as a sample. This is a classic, pleasant scent, somewhat old-fashioned but not at all bad. More spicy than fresh; very much an "herbal" scent. Smells like an upscale Italian restaurant, in the best way possible. If I smelled this on someone in person without knowing what it was, I would think it was a far more expensive cologne.

First Impressions: (booklet from fragrancenet) Smells like those new age spirituality witchy pagan shops. Y’know the ones with the overpriced crystals, and astrology books. I like it, it’s smells very heavy on the myrrh tho. So you have to love myrrh. I will also say that it smells like an older hippie gentleman that was an actual real hippie back in the day.
