Dry spicy, incense-rich blend.
The powerful lavender and juniper open the ceremony, transitioning within 3 minutes to incense,
pepper, and saffron, which is perhaps the most intriguing part: the incense burns, yet it's enveloped by spicy notes.



Interestingly, in the air it's akin to white pepper; when sniffed up close on the wrist,
it leans more towards the scent of Chinese five-spice powder
-
After 10 minutes, the scent becomes robust, the texture of pepper resembling prickly stubble,
accompanied by the medicinal aroma of saffron, it takes on a slightly bitter herbal fragrance.
-
After 30 minutes, it arrives at the core, with dry woody incense dominating, so dry that it carries a hint of acidity.
-
At 1.5 hours, as the incense slowly fades, lavender gently re-emerges.
(Later, upon spraying a second time, I discovered that lavender had been lingering all along, but the preceding notes kept it subtle.)

After 2.5 hours, the base notes of coumarin enhance the lavender's powdery smokiness,
sandalwood, cedar, and amber shift the scent towards warmth and sweetness, adding weight to the incense,
making it more comforting and stable.



It's worth noting that lower temperatures accentuate the woody acidity and medicinal aspect,
making the layers of fragrance more nuanced; conversely,
higher temperatures accelerate the transition towards the warm and sweet finale.
-
The character exudes an aura of meticulousness, delicacy, and dignified solidity,
akin to someone with slightly curled hair,
wearing golden-rimmed glasses and a beige or earth-toned turtleneck sweater.

Classy and refined greenness
Giardino di Ercole's initial impression is evocative, offering a slightly sharp and spicy greenness with a subtle touch of smokiness. As it unfolds and evolves, it gradually settles into a warmer, more resinous character, featuring woody and musky undertones. This transformation lends the fragrance a sense of sophistication and refinement that is both captivating and enduring. The combination of these elements creates a complex and elegant olfactory experience that lingers on the skin, making it a truly remarkable and memorable scent.

Very smooth, juniper berries and lightly resinous woods are the stars of the show. In truth, rather linear and monothematic, but pretty.

Definitely see the comparisons to Epic Man. Fresher, greener version of Epic. Rich, resinous, spicy, and very masculine

Sharp spices (strong juniper, but also pepper and saffron) with resins, dry woods, lavender and incense. High quality and sophisticated.
