Spice-infused wood ship

I love spicy scents so it is no surprise that I like this: the image that is created in my mind is that of a spice ship with dry spices infusing into the wood. There is the oceanic bow of ambergris which cuts through the dryness of the spices. Nutmeg is initially prominent with coriander following up. This coriander is not overpowering though, like some other scents where it can become sickening.

I would prefer this for men as it is more masculine than I like. It does not have that aquatic or citrus note that most men's scents have. The only part of this perfume that I don't like is the sillage and lasting power. As a result, I spray it liberally and often but for the price the manufacturer sells it for is not worth it because you will go through this beautiful large bottle (with a wooden cap) really quickly.
