Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays close rather than filling a room. Voters lean towards a masculine reading, though a fair share call it feminine.
It is a fresh, green woodiness. Hinoki cypress and cryptomeria give it a dry, tree-like core, while the forest accord deepens the green. Frankincense adds a resinous, smoky touch, softened by spices and sandalwood.
