I was quite curious about the sample of this fragrance due to the combination of the scent notes, which I kindly received as a surprise.
It starts off quite fruity; I can clearly detect the rhubarb, while the citrus components are less noticeable. The whole thing is paired with a rather masculine note, possibly the rum. After a short time, the fragrance becomes even more unisex. I only smell vetiver paired with a certain sweetness, likely from the fruits. This strongly reminds me of Vetiver-Tonka by Hermes/Hermessence. I actually quite like it when the vetiver loses some of its sharpness and biting notes, but I prefer this to be done through citrus components... sweet notes often don't harmonize ideally with vetiver, in my opinion.
I find this fragrance to be "okay." Not a must-have and not a candidate for purchase or decanting for me. Not unpleasant, but also nothing particularly great. The longevity is, by the way, very low, but the sillage is surprisingly good, I think.
