Boy Smells

I love how the hinoki wood note comes through so clearly from the first spray — it's woody and fresh without being heavy. Lasted well over six hours on me, which is impressive for a fragrance this subtle.

The dry down is where this really shines—it turns into a soft, smoky woodiness that lasts all day on my skin. I sprayed it on my scarf and could still catch whiffs of it the next morning, which is rare for me with most perfumes.

I was skeptical about a hinoki perfume since most woods are too heavy for me, but this one opens with a bright citrusy burst that dries down to a clean, airy woodiness. Lasts a solid six hours on skin without becoming cloying.

Tried this on a whim because I love woodsy scents, and the hinoki here is so realistic it’s like walking through a cedar grove after rain. Lasts a solid six hours on me, which is rare for something this subtle.

I was hoping for a stronger scent that lasts through a workday, but the hinoki wood and misty forest notes are so unique and calming. The bottle’s dark glass and minimalist design feel really elegant on my dresser. For a subtle, grounding daily fragrance, this is lovely.

It’s a pleasant enough scent with a clear hinoki note, but the longevity is disappointing—fades within three hours on my skin. Might work better as a room spray.
