A year ago I had the chance to try this perfume on my skin and I wish I never did. I like vetiver, I like wood notes. But this? This is just old wooden furniture. It genuinely reminds me of my parent's old wooden dresser. It's very dark, given there's only wood in it. I would try my luck again (just in case it's become a better fragrance to me) but for now I truly don't like this. Otherwise, it has great value, a little on the masculine side and very gothic. It's not a safe blind buy; test before buying!
