Crisp but soft, fresh but earthy, cool but warm. Contrasts in a bottle that work.

I'm not normally compelled to write reviews but this fragrance made me sit up. What an unusual combination of irissy, incense and earthy but clean vibes. I really like this. Some usual ingredients have been combined in a very unusual way. It has really worked well to produce a cool, crisp fragrance that is fresh but doesn't belong in the normal citrus department, but more in the clean laundry room. Then just as you think it might be too clean, then the labdanum and the iris bring out their more earthy natures and bring this back to a really lovely and unusual skin scent. Not overpowering at all, just perfect. Nice for the office, a meeting or a formal do. No stinker here. I can see this with a very crisp suit or jeans and a fresh white ironed shirt. A yes from me. It would be advisable to take out a top up bottle with you, but worth topping up.
