Oh, this is gorgeous if you like the kind of scent that leans lumberjack.  It's fairly sharp evergreen when wet, but it quickly settles down into a welcoming forest with the addition of very soft leather, a hint of the sweetness of maple leaf, and an extremely wearable patchouli. I love patch in all its forms, but I know that's not true for everyone, and this one on me is not at all head shop, more of a gentle hug.  Throw is quiet, which is normal for my skin chemistry, but it lasts a long time. Utterly without gender. I need more.

I'm kind of surprised that there's no clove listed for this scent, because it's so spicy, warm, and powdery on me.  I love the Japanese cedar because it's aromatic like dried cedar planks (and perhaps that's where the spice is coming from?).  The first time I wore this, I got green cypress and some smokiness, but I don't smell either of those things today.  The leather and patchouli start off slowly, getting stronger over hours of wear, but they still stay more muted than usual.  The leather is well-worn and soft and the patchouli is like the earth in a forest clearing, with wood, pine needles, and rich soil warming in the sun.  It's a warm, enveloping scent that keeps making me think of laying outside on a sunny day.  

I like this, but I have so many patchouli and leather scents that I would reach for before this one.
