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.

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.

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.

Fresh. Summery. Average.

I think this is a potentially great one, unfortunately the rose accord ruins it for me, making it to girlie. Mat; Male is the one fragrance best capturing the real aroma of both watermelon and parsley - 2 very cool notes that unfortunately haven't been used well before. What a pity that they added those florals to...

A green scent...by that I mean this smells like: cut grass, hay, green tea, etc. It changes, of course, over time, but that is the general scent description. I think Chaleur d'Animale pour Homme (2000) is similar.
