Neat Nutwood in front of the Cabin!!!
Here you get a nice woody and nutty scent that impresses with a bit of spice and sweetness.

At first, I predominantly perceive cardamom. Do you like cardamom and nuts? Then you are exactly right here. The rest of the top notes is significantly overwhelmed by the cardamom. I don't smell anything fresh from bergamot here. It only smells a bit bergamot-like when I smell directly from the sprayer. The nuttiness is also immediately present. Cocoa, coffee? Well, maybe that creates the minimal sweetness in the heart note. The nut is clearly dominant here. It then becomes a bit drier and slightly powdery. Towards the end, the woods become more apparent. However, it is already so quiet that I have trouble recognizing anything specific.

The scent somehow has no real sillage. Whether that's good or bad, everyone has to judge for themselves. I find it relatively close to the body. But please don't confuse it with skin-close. It is a bit private and reserved.

The bottle is really stylish with its gradient. The cap stays on, and the sprayer is of good standard. Everything is okay here.

Price/performance, phew, difficult. On one hand, it is a nice scent. On the other hand, personally, I would have wished for more performance. I would regret the partially quoted price of €170. For just under €50, here from the souk, it is acceptable.

Recommendation? Maybe!!! Yes, for someone who is satisfied with a quiet scent and doesn't have anything like this yet. No, for all those who want performance and already have many such scents. Then you don't necessarily need it.

I see a slight similarity to CH Men Pasión in case someone wants to take a sniff. By the way, that one performs much better.

My batch is from 01/23.

Edit Longevity: Guys, I unfortunately have to say that it was almost gone after two hours. 2 test sprays on the wrist, that doesn't get you far. The colleague apparently wants to be heavily oversprayed. That's a bit disappointing.

Such a unique woody dusty iris. It really is a hidden gem. People compare it to other masculine iris frags but this is better than any of em

Another cousin of Dior Homme Intense. A bit more spicy and more gourmand with a cedar dominated dry down. Nothing new but I love it.

Nutty roasted aromas combined with cocoa and iris create a woody, fine gourmand. Subtle yet very pleasant and a great scent.

Subtle, woody-spicy scent with cardamom and cedar. Very pleasant. Discreet. However, there are many that smell similar, just stronger.

The best in the series. Cardamom, nutty sweet and creamy woody as a base. Fades quickly.

A tiny, shady inn in summer with oiled wooden tables, coffee and cocoa stains on them, friendly and inviting.

Balsamic, powdery with light roasted notes. There is a certain similarity to Encre Noire, though the vetiver comes across as more subdued.

Beautiful woody scent. If I could recommend a woody fragrance for men/women, this would be it. A scent that I really, really love!

The finest roasted aromas of nuts, coffee & cocoa create a special charm. They are fresh-spicy-woody underneath. Elegant mix.
