Really an essentiel?
If I'm not mistaken, this was the first fragrance I bought from Rituals. So there are a few memories attached to this fragrance.

I would describe the fragrance as spicy, fresh but also sweet. Not too complex and not too deep, but well balanced. At the opening, I mainly notice the bergamot and cardamom. Later on, the fragrance becomes a little more woody. Nothing earth-shattering but well done.

The longevity on my skin is, contrary to the majority, not that bad. i get 7h + with a sillage close to the skin.

As usual for Rituals, the bottle is very pretty and successful
Conclusion: Just give it a try. If the fragrance works on your skin, it is a really beautiful and universal fragrance. But if, like the majority, it lasts less than 2 hours on your skin, it's not worth the money.

A very beautiful fragrance with weaknesses
I became aware of this perfume through my Rituals car fragrance.
Spicy, woody, a certain freshness and slightly citrusy.
The fragrance DNA won me over right from the start.
Unfortunately, the longevity and silage are below average. I'm not a fan of being permanently perceived from 10 meters away, but I want to be able to perceive my perfume myself for at least a few hours. Unfortunately, this fragrance doesn't manage that.

Smells identical to Chanel Allure Homme. Buy this if you want Chanel AH without having to spend 80-100 dollars
