Female Vetiver
First off, I really enjoy this. But I happen to love unisex/masculine-leaning aromatics and freshies.
Without looking at the notes, on first spray I got a blast of vetiver! Some subtle hints of a very green fig (fig leaf) and a sharp, pencil shavings style cedar. Can confirm all those accords are actually there in the notes list so brava, me! (Parfumo is missing the listed 'essential oils,' i.e., lavender and vetiver.)
Overall a fresh, somewhat bitter (yes, the Santal pickle thing is there, just barely) sandalwood/cedar and vetiver combo that is more earthy and less aquatic on my skin. I miss any trace of salt, shame.
Also, really great performance, albeit pretty linear. It's oil-based and so goes on skin as an essential oil would . . . oily. At least only for a few moments. The upshot of this formulation is a wonderful, radiating sillage that remains quite noticeable for most of the day. The bottle is fun, but you have to be able to tolerate that it doesn't stand.
