Sicilian Wood

A bright burst of juicy Sicilian lemon opens the fragrance, gradually blending with pleasant and vibrating woods. Cardamom adds a gentle spiciness which mellows the searing citrus accord. The inclusion of said white florals (jasmine and muguet) in the heart is either so well blended or so minimally added as to be rendered imperceivable. The always warm and comforting sandalwood and cedar in the dry down resonate with the now more mellow citrus accord (it is here that the tangerine note shines). At once citrus, then spicy, and later woody/amber, this is a captivating and transformative scent. Conjures up the image of a beautiful gypsy dancing in loose flowing and colorful garments, shaking her tambourine toward a dusky autumnal sky. Alluring, mysterious and sensual. One of the best from Tom Daxon thus far. (39)

Excellent. When you first spray it on there is quite a "salt and pepper" effervescent hit but very quickly it settles and Cardamom, Guaiac, Bergamot/Lemon and Jasmine are the most prominent notes that I detect from this. It has a softer sillage giving it a more refined, well mannered and luxury impression, as if for a younger yet distinguished gentleman. If I could justify dropping £100 on a bottle of this I would do in a heartbeat. This is superb.

Wow! Another exotic Tom Daxon creation. Beautiful citrus with spices. Lemon, tangerine, bergamot is what I smell here, mixed with exotic spices. Very nice for the hot summer months, day and night. I find it to be very masculine and refined.

This is far and away my favorite from the Daxon line. It opens with a gorgeous Sicilian lemon and narancia scent and then develops with florals and woods. Unlike the other Daxons I have tried this one retains all the lovely notes in the drydown, no doubt due to the ambers and woods. Very well constructed and beautiful notes. This one actually has some bones in the bottle and the spice accents the other notes perfectly. I will finish my sample and this one may actually be worthy of a full bottle. Again, on my skin there is not much sillage at all, but it is a lovely skin scent.

Bought Midnight Saffron and Cologne Absolute which blew me away for originality and waayyyy above average performance. So I randomly bought this... Straight forward bright sweet stinking citrus backed by not overly commanding jasmin dies down to a pleasant half mixed with a half with cedar sweetened smoothed and darkened a tad by the sandalwood and oud. Refreshing and very natural. The negative being it has a much shorter life than his other perfumes and the longer drydown leaves a mostly woody remainder. His other perfumes are overdue rave reviews from me!
