Launched in 2013, it’s a woody aromatic with a fresh, fruity twist; a softer, more polite take on pineapple forward scents like Creed Aventus. It opens juicy and invigorating with pineapple, bergamot, and juniper berries for a sweet, fresh punch with a slight herbal edge. It moves into a subtle currant greenness, then dries down to a clean, woody base with cedar, vetiver, and moss/musk. It’s uplifting, sophisticated, and not overpowering. Good projection initially that settles to a pleasant skin scent. On my skin it fades at four hours to subtle while wearing indoors. Classy, modern, versatile everyday quality. Great for spring/summer, office, or casual. It’s masculine but not aggressive. If you enjoy fresh, fruity woody scents with a clean, confident profile you will enjoy this one. It is one of Bond No. 9's better releases, but performance may be an issue. Definitely sample if pineapple and woods appeals.

I've gotten to the point in my collection where I finally sold some fragrances that were barely used. I was just looking at my collection and said "These are taking up space, I barely wear them at all so why do I have them?" They were all ME cheapies (Asad, Liquid Brun, Khamrah and a few others) that I bought on a whim (most likely influenced by influencers - lol). Sold them in bulk in one shot. It feels like my tastes are becoming a little more discerning. After almost a year I think I finally know what I really like and what suits me best as far as accords and notes go. I believe I've reached the next step of the journey.
