Richard ★★★★★

The citrus opening fades so smoothly into that resinous, almost smoky heart—the lavender keeps it from feeling too heavy. I catch a new layer of patchouli hours later, and it’s still clinging to my collar by evening. My only complaint is I wish the bottle were bigger.

Claire ★★★★★

The opoponax resin gives this cologne a warm, almost smoky depth that lingers for hours, and the lavender keeps it from feeling too heavy. I keep catching whiffs of it on my collar long after I've forgotten I sprayed it, which is exactly what I want from a summer scent.

Scarlett ★★★★★

The lemon and bergamot hit bright right away, but it's the opoponax resin that keeps things warm and grounding through the dry-down. I've worn it to work and out to dinner; it lasts a good six hours on my skin and gets compliments every single time.
