Apsley

nothing much to add to the description. crisp woody fragrance, a bit harsh on cedar part. Good longevity. Overall , not very balanced and might be heavy for other people choking on sharp edges of pine disinfectant

It's no surprise that this scent starts off very masculine and barber-shoppy. It's a typical fresh, aromatic I think the grapefruit comes through very well although it does smell like more of a lemon to me. In fact, the more I smell it, it smells more and more like a cleaning product. I think it's hard for me to judge this one because I don't really like citrusy/peppery aromatic scents. I would say beyond the grapefruit, none of the notes really come out strong. I would also say that you can find something of similar quality for about 20% the price of this bottle. Nothing really came through in the dry-down that would really sway my opinion. I'll give it a 6/10 because I've certainly smelled worse. Not really something I'd be interested in wearing.

Strong grapefruit from the start, black pepper, bergamot. Finishes with a typical shaving soap scent with slight cedar. The scent definitely falls flat at the end.

This reminds me of Terre d'Hermès Parfum. The combination of grapefruit, woods and vetiver creates a similar profile, although this feels somewhat denser and less balanced in comparison. While I like the scent, I don't think it surpasses alternatives such as Déclaration or the other TdH releases, making it less interesting for me to explore further.

Spicy vetiver; to me it's vetiver mixed with cardamom. Slightly resembles to Terre, Vetiver Imperial. Not bad, but not for me.
