This is one of my favorite colognes, but I can never seem to find the right moment to wear it. It works pretty well in most occassions, but I can't place my finger on when/where it would smell best. I wore it once to a wedding and thought it was too casual, so I wore it another time with street clothes and reasoned that it came off as being too formal. The scent generally comes off as dirty vetiver with cool, biting grapefruit sillage on my skin, but it's been harder to for me to categorize than it seems it should. I don't know if anyone shares my view, and if anyone has this in his (or her) wardrobe, when do you decide to wear it out?

A nice green top note develops into a good iris scent with a hint o light wood - a bit synthetic but all right. Gone after ninety minutes on my skin. Nice while it lasts and quite unlike others.
