This woody, aromatic, and fresh-spicy fragrance evokes an intense pine and incense character reminiscent of Catholic church incense, Italian cypress, and polished wood. It carries a bold, linear profile with strong projection and remarkable longevity—some users describe it as one of the most powerful fragrances they've worn, with a single spray filling a room. The scent is deeply masculine, with a concentrated, almost soap-like quality in its early moments, though it develops a warm, soft spiciness that gives it a comforting, almost cozy character not unlike a luxury scented candle or potpourri. It is most suitable for autumn and spring, with a strong preference for night wear due to its intensity. While some praise its elegance and class, others find it so overpowering and obnoxious that it becomes physically intolerable. It’s particularly appealing to fans of Halston Z-14, Polo Green, and vintage masculine scents, but those with sensitive noses or who prefer subtle, light fragrances should approach with caution.
