A delicate scent of lime, unsweet and dry thanks to the slightly sere cedarwood. The opening is accented by a few airy mint leaves. Pleasant scent, but it usually doesn't last an hour, only when I spray it more than once on the same spot, it can be smelled after an hour. Sometimes I catch a trace of sandalwood in it.

The opening consists of cedrate, sweet bitter orange, lemon, which is sweetened with orange blossom, and a trace of soapy neroli. After 15 mins, it all blends into a bittersweet citrus accord that stays on the skin even in the hot weather for over 3 hours, before moving into the final slightly scrubby orange blossom branches. The quality of the ingredients is decent despite the low price, and the bottle even looks luxurious: it's made of solid glass and the cap is all-metal, covered with a strip of beige leather. My colleague praised it to me, saying that I smelled the whole corridor.

A beautiful and all-natural perfume with dominant Haitian vetiver. Freshly ground coriander evolves through velvety Moroccan rose spiced with pink pepper and ginger to earthy Haitian vetiver blended with dry aromatic juniper wood (Virginia cedarwood), warmed by creamy sandalwood.

The bottle comes in a jute bag and a paper box.

I made my way to the wooden temple. Through a sacred grove made of fresh rosemary needles and a few sprigs of sweet cypress, I reached a temple of resinous cedar wood, filled with sweet smoke from incense sticks burning in front of statues of idols carved from smooth sandalwood. Someone even offered them a bowl of nuts.

Pleasant myrrh from Acqua di Parma, dusty spicy, slightly clove. Refreshed by a soapy bergamot orange at the beginning, sweetened by resin at the end. It lasts easily 5 hours, which is respectable for a concentrated cologne, but the projection is to be expected - after half an hour it's only near the skin.
