A (severely) watered down Gucci PH. Is this house some sort of in-joke or what?

Incense, sandalwood
This is a simple, minimalist scent. It has a dusty, dusky sandalwood which gets some notes from its usual neighbor (cedar) and other notes from a slightly sweet, aromatic incense. Essentially woody and dry, it is also somewhat delicate, sitting close to the skin. The sandalwood hints at creamy vanilla but never goes there. It also whispers a kind of salty tang but never develops that. If you are looking for a very subtle and restrained sandalwood, this would suit you. I was a bit disappointed, expecting something more dynamic and distinctive.

With just a touch of rough, scratchy vetiver this is a very sexy scent. I gave someone special a decant, and it's always a delight to come across. If it gets used up I'll be tempted to buy a bottle.

Another failure from this company. Completely boring blend of watery iris root, light woods and musk. Subtle incense lurks far way in the horizon.

I like the concept and the image (great bottles, stories behind the scents etc.) of this company, but to be honest, all of their fragrances are totally pointless. I cannot understand how anyone would like to spend 75 dollars in any of them. It really goes over my head.

I was reminded of Gucci pour Homme immediately. I love Gucci pour Homme and a kinda like this. 'Kinda' in the reluctant sort of way that it's teetering on the edge of "must buy" or "wait this isn't so good". This stuff is dry like sarcasm and dusty like sawdust, yeah that's a fairly abstract description: sarcastic sawdust. Sensitive noses beware at it might extrapolate your allergies into an expansive sneezing fit. I find this to surprisingly long lasting and the fragrance on the card I put some on and threw in the trash keeps seeping out and I get whiffs of it.

There are a few ambivalent reviews here, however this ranks as the closest I have come to finding anything that might be deemed to be a 'holy grail'. Bone dry, this smells to me of dust, hot coals, incense and seared wood. Whilst sheer, this is one of the few fragrances that lasts a full day on my skin - very tenacious, just as you think you've lost it, you catch the trail again.
