mandarin, grapefruit leaf, pepper, Tonkin musk, bergamot, amyris wood, neroli, cedar and golden amber

This opens with an amazingly surreal "fresh-squeezed" citrus juice that resembles tangerines and grapefruit. It's quite a stunning start and it stays interesting throughout its development as it softens to a neroli, musk, and amber finish. All in all I'm not overly impressed by the drydown as there's something in it that irks me but I confess I do smell very good nonetheless. In short, it's a green citrus and neroli-musk fragrance with really good longevity and moderate sillage.

Bandit is one to borrow, for sure.

Wore Mazzolari Vetyver (sp?) yesterday. A big fav of mine. I am sorry to have run out of it!

Today, Xpect.

Notes: Citrus, Mint, Lavender, Figs, Vetiver, Musk, Tobacco

Another 80's-style frag similar to Puig Sybaris, but fresher and not as strong. Begins turning powdery after 6-8, but at least it is more or less a skin scent by that time. More tolerable than the Puig frags for me, but still not my style.
