A few years ago, I would have laughed at the notion that someone could tell me their fragrance smells like barnyard when they first apply it, and that I would not only understand, but imagine that I could enjoy that, too!

If there is any vetiver or cedar, they are well blended into the backgrouind. I think those who like very light citrusy scents, or eau de colognes that are very mild, citrusy and refreshing but not powerful and not long lasting would enjoy this. But try it for the top and middle notes, not the base notes.

I'd prefer more base to give my subwhiffer a workout and either the cedar or vetiver would been nice, but I enjoy a ginger vetiver duet as well.

Yeah, either of those you describe sounds like something I would like better than this one.

Ron- tried the same today and like it very much. I sure wish these citrus scents would have longer legs!

Fahrenheit Aqua by Dior

This is my first wearing of this and I'm impressed so far. I got a split second cucumber note at the beginning, now it is drying to to a pleasant woody/leathery/musky accord. The drydown reminds me of Burberry Touch with cedar, thumbs up!

Notes: Oak moss, Cedar wood, Coriander

A wonderful soapy frag which opens a little harsh, but after a few minutes the oak moss and cedar wood come together like sweet, damp, leathery tree bark and the harshness begins to fade. After half an hour the dampness is gone and the frag settles into a very clean, slightly sweet, woody yet soapy frag. It seems to have lost much of its original projection, but that may be olfactory fatigue or dry skin from sitting here in air-conditioned home. I am going grocery shopping now and it is 90 degrees outside so I will report back later...Well I am back, but apparently I lost Sir Irisch Moos somewhere along the way for he is nowhere to be found. I only got 3 hours max on my skin with this frag, but I have a whole bottle so there will be other opportunities.
