Scent Depot Score™

6.9/10

Good

Worth consideringA crisp apple–grapefruit–mint/basil opening that settles into an herbal-floral heart (sage, geranium, jasmine) and dries down to fir balsam, cedar and patchouli. Performance is moderate: community longevity and sillage sit around the middle of the scale, with an early scent bubble that becomes close to the skin after a couple of hours.

More Information

Key strengths

Iconic 1990s green‑fresh signature with distinctive apple opening.
Versatile daytime/office wear; broadly inoffensive and easy to like.
Balanced woody‑fir dry‑down keeps it masculine without heaviness.
Wide availability and solid value at many retailers.

Things to know

You dislike green apple/mint or find fresh aromatics ‘sharp’ or ‘synthetic’.
You need a formal, dressy evening scent rather than a casual daytime one.
You’re sensitive to batch/reformulation variability and need rock‑steady performance.
