Boy Smells

The scent opens with a sharp, clean hinoki wood note that instantly transports me to a forest bath. It lasts a solid 8 hours on my skin without turning cloying, which is rare for a wood-forward fragrance.

I sprayed this on at 8am and could still catch whiffs of the woody hinoki and soft citrus on my scarf at dinner—the longevity is genuinely impressive. The scent settles into something warm and grounded without being heavy, perfect for everyday wear.

The projection is just right—stays close without being a cloud. I get about six hours before it settles into a soft, woody skin scent, which feels perfect for the office.

Finally, a hinoki scent that actually lasts on my skin — I'm still catching whiffs of it eight hours later. The dry down brings out a subtle warmth from the cypress that keeps me sniffing my own wrist.

Blind-bought this because of the hinoki note, and it’s exactly the forest-floor-after-rain scent I was hoping for. The cedar gives it a dry warmth that lasts a solid six hours on my skin.

Got this for my partner and the hinoki note is beautifully balanced—woody but not heavy. It lasts about 6 hours on skin, which is decent for a natural-leaning scent. Only wish the bottle had a sprayer instead of a dabber.
