Not my cup of tea
Not my cup of tea at all for a perfume or aftershave.
For a minute or so the opening smells very slightly of lavender, bergamot, and maybe hiding way way back a touch of nutmeg. In pretty short time everything is taken over by a a surprisingly harsh petitgrain, sharp and bitter.
Another half an hour and with the top notes burnt off completely it becomes a rather nondescript cake shaving soap such as Wilkinson Sword or Boots the Chemist own brand. By an hour it is gone, and I don't get the base notes.
For me this is in the camp of colognes that we used to use for cleaning our hands when out for a picnic in the 1960s, or as an astringent my aunt used on oily hair between washes. I'm thinking 4711, generic Boots the Chemist own brand, and so on, that we used to buy in pint bottles.
This may smell better on someone else, or may need to be applied in gusting quantities and left to die down, but on my skin it is a complete bust. being thin and bland.
The note pyramid looked exciting.
