This is peak freshy IMO.It's comparable to Grey Vetiver but also Acqua di Gio Elixir. That means it gives off a slightly vintage vibe but it's also got a timeless cleanliness to it and a bit of a more modern approach here and there.The backbone of this perfume is a semi-aquatic, oily citrus that goes hand in hand with a very characteristic nutmeg and vetiver that envelop it in an earthy-soapy bubble that gets contrasted slowly as it dries down by a fine, non-animalic leather accord.This paints a picture of a well-groomed man in his 30s through 40s who was raised by his grandparents, he's standing by the lighthouse at night doing god knows what, wearing a clean leather jacket.This is perfect for spring, summer and autumn (if it's not too cold). Day wear and even night if the mood is more formal than casual. The heat really brings out the best in this perfume.I personally give it a 10 out of 10, this would be my go-to "hot weather" signature scent but it's a bit pricey. So for now I'm wearing a very good alternative to it, Karl Lagerfeld's NY Mercer Street, which is extremely similar but if it was "foresty" instead of "oceany", and about 8 times cheaper.Love it.
