Scent Depot Score™

Very good

Strong category choiceA bright, zesty citrus opening (mandarin, lemon, bergamot, orange) meets a juicy pineapple accent, then turns greener and more coniferous (cypress, fir balsam, galbanum) before settling into a mossy, resinous base with patchouli, oakmoss, leather, incense, ambergris and musk. Expect solid longevity around a workday with good early projection that softens to a refined trail.

More Information
Key strengths
  • Cohesive modern take on the classic green chypre with a distinctive pineapple-citrus lift.
  • Versatile across seasons and occasions; balanced presence without shouting.
  • Complex, well-structured evolution from fresh to earthy/resinous.
  • High-quality construction and materials impression across community feedback.
Things to know
  • You prefer sweet/amber-heavy modern profiles—this skews classic green/mossy and can read old-school.
  • You are price-sensitive at niche MSRP (~$335/100 ml in the US).
  • You dislike conifer/oakmoss or leather nuances—the dry-down leans mossy-woody with subtle animalic shadows.
  • You want a heat-proof summer bomb—the dense base is better in temperate weather or evenings.
