Pros & Cons
- ✅ I love green....dark green with wood-powder...a rose makes an appearance too! Dry but also somehow warm-musk...Dream bottle :)
- ✅ Silver resin dripping from conifers: cypress, green, fresh, very subtle, hardly sharp, fleeting. I like it.
- ✅ Snowy soft coniferous forest, frozen lake, still, very quiet, the robins peek out from their nests.
- ✅ Starts dark green-woody. It smells like Christmas at mom's in the living room. Quickly softens with a little rose. BEAUTIFUL!
- ✅ Simple, silvery, stunning. This does require a few layers to lift it off the skin, spray, dry, spray, and great longevity on clothes.
- ❌ Winter melody? Dear Winter, please take some singing lessons. Your plastic-wooden dissonances give the cypress trees tinnitus.
- ❌ You could have been so beautiful. 10 minutes of delicate rose cypress in the snow, then just dissonances, like a skip in the record. Really meh.
- ❌ First a fresh green citrus scent of cypress. Resinous-bitter and wonderful. After 30 minutes, dry synthetic wood takes over.
- ❌ Unbearably woody on my skin. Cypress all the way. Pungent, strong, unscrubbable.
- ❌ I am a collector of rare and exclusive perfumes... The top notes are nauseating. I felt sick, got a slight headache, my tongue swelled, eyes watered and I started sneezing.
