D&G pour Homme's lesser known sibling?

Opening with a zesty and fresh citrus opening that dries down to musk, amber, cloves and lavender on a woody tobacco base.
Launched in 1991 this scent seems to be quite ahead of it's time - no oakmoss powerhouse here, but fresh and invitingly grassy, a little soapy and natural. It's sweet and the topnotes lend an almost floral feel to it. Brilliantly constructed. The curry notes that others mention elude me completely - what I do get though is a herbal sensation of the mediterranian (the closest comparison for me would be the original D&G Pour Homme), which others may experience as curry seasoning perhaps ?

Very pleasant indeed, but also a little shortlived - two hours of projection and another two hours of skin scent is what I get.
Overall, pleasant and classy IMO.
