At first spray I’m getting woods, bergamot… and pineapple? It’s not overly sweet or fruity, but I swear that pineapple is there. The woods note (I presume hinoki) is very soft, when mixed with the citrus note, quite fresh. I don’t usually think of woody fragrances to wear in hot weather, but I actually think this would work very well in the summer.
This got increasingly woody in the dry down, but never lost that freshness that I found appealing. It definitely isn’t a strong projector, but it lasted a good 4 hours which I think is pretty decent for a budget perfume. I’m not sure if this is one I absolutely have to have in my collection, but if you’re looking for a woody fragrance that has some fresh and fruity elements and maybe is suitable for warmer weather, definitely check Hinoki out!
