Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate. Half of the voters find the lasting power high, though the vote count is small, so this is only a rough guide. It reads masculine.
It opens with bergamot, petitgrain and mint, and watermelon, juniper and rose lead the heart. The base of oakmoss, musk, cedar and leather dries down earthy, smoky and leathery. Chiseled Face Midnight Stag (Eau de Parfum) and Montale Greyland have a close profile.
