   |  Minimalist herbs. It's cool but warms up after a while. Lightly salted and mint. The drydown is good. It's a very clean, herbal feel to it. That's the part I like. Very hesitant thumbs up as the opening really distracts me from the rest of the fragrance.16 August 2009 |
 |  flowery and green.very cheap . good scent but i am not a fan of the earthy,fresh,floral types. plus paul smith the original does it better.29 July 2009 |
  | I have to agree with a previous reviewer... After a couple of hours, the base of green, sappy wood - bamboo, I suppose - with some dusty, fruity florals hanging on in there, is really, really good. But the shrill opening, like an animated, brightly coloured confectionery counter, commandeered by some frightening ninja lychees and a samurai watermelon, attacking your olfactory organ with lots of sharp little citrus swords and badly-aimed berry nunchucks, is enjoyably strange but not particularly pleasant. 03 July 2009 |
 | It's a fresh, sensual and vibrant scent. There is little competition out there, Versace Eau Fraiche having a similar scent but with a younger appeal. It's not strong but does strike that great accord between green, floral and musky without being too feminine. 21 December 2007 |
 | I am a fan of mat;male, but only felt it pungent when I first wore it. After a few more tries, however, I began to appreciate its concept of contradiction. While its flowery sweetness is warm, inviting, and really feminine sometimes, sharp lines are drawn by the spicy notes of juniper berry and white leather, which make the scent tender and stern at the same time. A very unique blend indeed. 27 October 2007 |
 | Fresh, citrusy, fruity, green, a little spicy — none of the notes overbalancing the others. To my nose, the grapefruit, bay leaves, mint, and parsley come though nicely in the opening, in a citrus / green accord that is pleasant but not really anything special. The middle notes are dominated by the watermelon with a strong rose note supporting it. And the base provides primarily white cedar and leather with a bit of musk — I feel there’s something missing in the base. It’s a nice fragrance and I’ve worn it several times but never really got into it. There is nothing in it that I dislike, but there is nothing in it that really grabs me, either. 15 October 2007 |
