This reminds me strongly of DS & Durga's Mahogany Kora out of the gate. Clean sharp, cologny woods. Where that goes a bit more chocolatey and warm, this goes even more cologney and reads a bit more fresh pirate than weathered and seasoned pirate. I don't get much of a smoky, charred note, but the sandalwood is a variety that does go a bit sharp on me. White amber is not very soft or creamy here and lends more of a blinding white light/fancy lift. I also don't get much of a cedar vibe, not in a pencil or cedar chest way, at any rate, just more of a wooded atmosphere. I'm not sure what cade is supposed to smell like, but Fragrantica says it is a "tar-like, smoky, phenolic fragrance". There is something that is a bit gummy, chewy, and resinous, but not sweet. The moss takes this in a slight fougere/fern direction, but it's not green though, more if fougere was white. Although I don't like the sharp bite, this is nice overall and very accessible. If you enjoy more commercial, traditionally masculine woody blends, want something safe for work, or go out in the world meeting folk and, hopefully, not your doom, this is a good, unisex blend. But it is also a nice staying in, cozy blend. It makes me think of a well-kept, clean, upscale cabin in a forest somewhere very cold: Edited Tuesday at 07:23 PM by RoseThornAndOak Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
