The top notes of mint, green tea, red thyme and eucalyptus give a fresh, sharp start. In the heart, lavender, pine and rosemary carry the green thread on, while patchouli, oud and cedar pull the base in an earthy, woody direction.
Most voters suggest spring, fall and summer, with fewer picking winter. Daily wear, leisure and business are the most chosen settings. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters read it as masculine, though some find it feminine.
