| Blends of floral and citrus-based fragrances are recommended for casual and daywear. Spicy, woody or warm amber-based fragrances are traditionally favorites for evening and special occasions. |

| I haven't been this much in love with a scent in a very, very long time! From the first seconds, I knew that this was amazing, far exceeding all my expectations. Unmistakably masculine - there is no way this could be unisex. From the first balsamic blast (reminds me of the wonderful smell of Christmas trees), to the winey/spicy midnotes, to the woody/slighty sweet base, it is just perfection. The amazing thing is, with all of that going on, it does not scream "cologne" - rather, it blends beautifully with the skin to create a subtle aura of fragrance - it's restrained. I live in New England, and this would be perfect in the fall and winter, mingling with the smells of the holidays here. It also conjures up images of a walk through a pine forest, sipping hard cider, with the faint smell of wood smoke in the air...or a man smoking a pipe in his library on a leather chair enjoying a glass of port and a good book. If the campuses of Oxford and Harvard had a smell, this would be it - it has a cerebral quality. But - it is NOT stuffy; there is definitely a potent seductive edge that makes me melt. It's the sort of fragrance I could picture Cary Grant or Sean Connery wearing with style. FANTASTIC! |
