Very good
Strong category choiceA bright lemon–bergamot–petitgrain and basil opening that feels sharp and barbershop‑clean, moving into a spicy‑floral woody heart (carnation, cinnamon, cedar) and drying down to a leather‑oakmoss–musk base with labdanum/amber warmth. Expect above‑average longevity and steady, noticeable sillage that calms after the first half hour.
