Though many are perceiving this scent as ultra feminine, my experience of Endymion is that it is subtle and ethereal.
In the bottle I got the lily and a light fruit-juice sweetness.
Wet, I immediately got champagne grapes, pale with sweet nectar, and a solid white musk that works well on me. The forceful lily bounced around a bit, but within five minutes the more subtle pear became evident. Others have commented on it, but it bears repeating, this is a remarkably authentic pear scent, barely ripe, the most genuine expression of pear, an impressive feat.
Dry, I had the good fortune of the pear and musk balancing and sustaining admirably as the dominant expression for several hours.
The white musk makes this wearable for me as a male scent. The overall tone to me is of late-night summer garden stillness and ethereal night sky. I get a fitting representation of the character and story.

The one thing I would add to the very evocative reviews is the almost coconut blast I got wet from the mix of woods. It had a bright pine top from the get go that bopped in and out until fully dry when it stayed balanced with the warm vanilla for a good long time.
While I had three distinct layers, wood, pine, and vanilla, the overall effect was a masculine spice to me.
I would echo the strong bronze, I personally get no green out of this, just the gold of cut wood, honey, and warm metal.
