This polarizing scent has folks divided. Some hail it as a masterclass in green, woody freshness, evoking misty Scottish Highlands, while others dismiss it as a barbershop afterthought. Definitely not a safe blind buy, but a unique experience if it clicks.

About

Opens with an invigorating burst of sharp, wet green, dominated by fresh ivy and herbaceous thistle. This develops into a woody heart, reminiscent of freshly cut timber and damp earth, grounded by a subtle, aromatic patchouli. There's a cool ozonic quality throughout, painting a picture of a rain-swept landscape.
