Scent Depot Score™
Very good
Strong category choiceA classic 1987 animalic chypre: sharp green-spicy opening (coriander, hyacinth, bergamot/neroli), a honeyed rose–carnation–ylang floral heart, and a long, mossy animalic dry-down (oakmoss, civet, patchouli, vetiver, musk) with faint coconut. Expect strong longevity and a noticeable trail; several reviewers report 10–12 hours and powerful projection early on.
