From all the reviews, I was expecting a unisex, masculine leaning fragrance. This is not, IMO. It starts out quite nice, but 30 minutes into it it becomes a floral bomb on both me and my husband. It's not a nice floral, in my opinion - I find it synthetic and screechy. I enjoy the house and this is the first one I don't like, but I *really* don't like this one.

This definitely won't be for everyone, but I really enjoy it. I tend to enjoy complicated, hodgepodge fragrances though. If you try it, don't even smell it until you're 5 minutes in. The initial opening is rough. It really had me questioning myself until it settled, but once it did, I fell hard.

The sweet citrus fruits and resinous notes are really spectacular together. I would never have thought to pair them together, but it's a great mix. Then the ginger comes in and ties everything together. The citrus and ginger top notes hang around for hours. It's not a typical fleeting top note conglomerate. I'm guessing they lasted about 5 hours on me.

Once the top wears off and it's just the mid and base notes, it loses much of its charm for me, but it's still enjoyable. It becomes a sweet, resinous, tonka heavy fragrance for the last 3-4 hours.

9/10 for uniqueness and scent. A winner for me.

I received this fragrance as a free sample with an order. I'm so glad I was able to experience it because I would have never chosen this myself. I would have never been even slightly interested based on the notes.

This is a perfect spring/summer scent. Light. Fresh. Slightly floral, but I don't detect the rose whatsoever. I can hardly believe there's oud in this. It's extremely well blended and quite tasteful.

Though I do see it is classified as unisex, I personally feel like it leans feminine. A man could wear it, but he would have enjoy florals. Again, I'm so glad I tried this. It might end up in my collection some day.

This is likely one of the most unique fragrances I've ever experienced. The notes seem like a hodgepodge, potluck dinner of a perfume, and I won't pretend it's not, because it is. Somehow this all just works though.

Each note can be deciphered and experienced in this fragrance. As a matter of fact, I've experienced few fragrances that could be picked apart this easily. If you don't focus on one thing or another, somehow they blend together in an intoxicating melody that leaves a person going back in for sniff after sniff. After one wearing I knew I had to have it.

Nearly impossible to explain, but I would invite anyone who enjoys "out of the box" fragrances to at least sample this. You might end up as smitten as I am.

I enjoyed every part of this fragrance from the sweet, fruity opening to the late dry down. The fruit is not too sweet and it isn't cloying to me. I don't enjoy rose fragrances, but this rose in the mid was just the perfect intensity and balanced with the patchouli. The base was woody enough to balance the sweet, and it just makes for a really lovely experience. I put it on prior to working, and 8.5 hours later when I returned home my husband got approximately 2 feet from me and told me I smelled really good, so that should speak to the performance. My second favorite from the house following only 1970.
