To my nose, the vetiver and gallbanum make themselves known quite early on, thus laying the foundation for this scent. Although musky and woody throughout, the woods give way to the lavender where I assume the freshness comes from. The level of freshness reminds me somewhat of Armani Code EDP, although this feels a bit more mature than Armani Code (shares a similar level of versatility with Armani Code). The musk, patchouli, and ambergris add a nice earthy richness. This lasts a good while as well, I'd say in the 7-9 hour range. This was a very timely release as I was looking for something woody yet fresh. Checked all the boxes for a fresh scent that could cut through the cold but could very well work in the spring. Very fair price as well. Well done!
