A Hidden Gem

6/16/26 80+ degrees dry airy weather

Ive put off trying this for a while now as I work thru my decant collection. The vial I received for this looked vintage as there is no removable cap just the bottle and a uniquely shaped atomizer.

I applied non scented lotion and went for 3 spritzes. 2 to the neck one to the right wrist.

This opens with citrus, green notes and spices. The citrus is at the forefront but quickly melds into the mixture. After around 2 hours the nutmeg and wood notes have bubbled up and are dancing on my skin. I would consider this an aromatic fougere and right up my alley. This is masculine. It leans into the fresh shower with a euacalypus soap followed by a hit of talcum. Its really good and very balanced.

This will definitely need more testing so I will need to secure a larger decant in the future. I believe this could be a signature scent and can be used for work, gym, daytime leisure and social functions. I dont see this being a club scene scent but could be used on a date night in the right setting.

Update this started at 9am it's 10pm and its still here still getting mild bubbles around me. The dry down is sweeter than i would've expected. This is reminiscent to Kenzo Homme, Aran, or GFS after 4-5 hours.
