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.

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.

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.

I got this fragrance as a gift, this is one that I hate and love. I love the dry down, but I just can't stand the top notes. Call me crazy, but the top notes smell like piss. Even though I love the dry down (aromatic/green/ spicy), I just can't stand the top notes, therefore I can't really use it.

It starts out with a fresher, cooler, lighter, less sweet version of the licorice in Very Male. More like traditional men's cologne anise, but not quite. I don't know where I get the licorice/anise from and in the drydown it disappears, turning into a more fennel-like scent. Green and spicy/herbal/aromatic, a quite classic masculine scent.
