Pros & Cons

  • ✅ A masterful study in green, earthy masculinity; crisp, mossy and quietly magnetic.
  • ✅ The combination of galbanum, incense and cedar creates a refined ruggedness that feels natural and sophisticated.
  • ❌ The crisp green opening can feel too fresh for winter, lacking cosy warmth.
  • ❌ In peak summer heat the composition may become dense and overwhelming.
