Standard begins with a fresh, bright, citrus opening, that has a clean cut-wood element. I like the opening. But I deeply dislike the dry-down. I've never encountered a CdG fragrance that does this, but it then turns sour and animalic. It smells, to me, like bad body odour in the dry-down. I had read people describing this as one of the best woods from CdG, and I deeply disagree. This is nothing like the beauty of Palisander, Sequoia, Hinoki, Sugi, Wonderwood, Blue Santal, the Incense series, or other great wood notes from CdG. The only scent I've disliked this much from them before was Luxe: Patchouli, in case that helps contextualize my experience of it.
