First and foremost, I love this scent, especially because I have worn it during trial work over the last few years, and I can assure you, it was well received everywhere. I come from a medical background and generally had female supervisors. In the practices, XCentric was always positively commented on. Always, because I find that this scent does not radiate "yeah, it's me," but rather conveys a sensitive, gentle, innocent, and trust-inspiring feeling. Just like a babyboy.
It starts off clearly with sage and grapefruit, but it quickly becomes green due to the cypress. Before it turns smoky and even woody like incense sticks, I find that a floral note from the freesia mixes in, woody but also with a hint of citrus. However, this transformation is only noticeable late, around the 3-hour mark, with a touch of sweetness-not the usual amber sweetness, but more like baby powder; it still remains woody.
If you spray it subtly, it lasts for 5 hours, and I found the sillage to be really good.
The bottle is not an eye-catcher, but it's okay.
Not a common scent, in my opinion, but always wearable.
