Traveling to Boston today and wanted to wear my newly acquired fragrance. The opening is a spicy scent with some mild citrus in the background. At 15 minutes I am starting to pick up on some of the woody notes (Birch). At 30 minutes the spiciness has settled down significantly and I am now getting some fresh woodiness. At 60 minutes "Oh Wow"; the soft woods are amazing and a scent profile that I really enjoy. Also getting a very slight animalic scent coming from the Musk, and some creaminess from the Iris. At the risk of sounding cliche, this fragrance dries down just like its namesake. I am getting a spicy and woody scent profile that is perfectly blended and emmits a scent of elegance and maturity.
Performance of this fragrance is moderate. The longevity on my skin is about 4 to 6 hours. The projection is moderate with the fragrance creating a scent bubble of about 2 feet for about 9i0 minutes. Sillage is also moderate with a scent trail of about an arms length for about 90 minutes.
I have the Original presentation (250ML) and not the redesigned 100ML bottle.
