I love this!! Why isn't it worn so much more?!

OK.....
This fragrance is SERIOUSLY underrated. Why? Just why?

It's clean, fresh, earthy, spicy, soapy and just great. I wonder if it was packaged in a more expensive bottle (and like I stated in my review about blue stratos) advertising money thrown at it and a "celebrity" used on an advert, would it be more popular?

In the opening the basil and the lemon are predominant giving way after a good while to the sage, cedar and patchouli which come through strongest in my opinion. Then the magic happens.... The drydown is just lovely, masculine and warm. The moss, leather and amber are great and make this totally not linear.

It's like old spice and brut. They had this stigma because dad and grandad wore them but that is over as dad and grandad are now the joop and cool water (which I really like BTW) crew. The stigma is the outdated thing not the fragrance or fragrances.

I find those in their late 40s to 50s to hold the stigma not 40 downwards!

The longevity for an aftershave is fantastic and I get 3 hours on skin and more on clothes so the value for money is excellent.

Another great fragrance for people who are financially struggling or on a budget. £9 for 2x 100ml. And some of the flankers like musk are excellent.

It's still been made, it's still been brought. Lovely stuff.
