Initial blast smells like apple pie filling, it's spiced and sweet. As it settles it becomes leathery and woody, the cedar note is dry and pencil-like. I don't get much floral, but there is some sweetness that keeps it from going too aggressively masculine. Close up I smell metal, it reminds me of a machine shop and car engines. Ultimately I think the metal machine shop smell makes me feel like I've been working in a garage all day and need a shower, but I could see enjoying it as an ambient smell.
