OUR TAKE
Cumin and citrus defined the opening, with a green facet that reminded me of Creed Royal Oud. The fragrance then became noticeably woodier while still retaining a light feel.
I did not particularly like it at first, but a later wearing improved my opinion considerably; it moved from merely okay to genuinely good for me.
