Boy Smells

Walked into a room three hours after spraying and someone asked what I was wearing — that never happens with my usual scents. The vanilla and sandalwood dry-down is incredibly smooth, not synthetic at all. Only wish the atomizer sprayed a finer mist, but the longevity makes up for it.

Finally, a perfume that doesn't disappear after two hours—I caught whiffs of the warm, woody base on my scarf the next morning. The spice notes are surprisingly subtle, not at all overpowering.

I wore this to work and got three compliments by lunch, which has never happened with any other perfume. The sandalwood note lingers beautifully for hours without being overpowering.

I’ve been testing this on my skin for a week now and the dry-down is incredible—the cedar really comes through after about an hour. A single spray lasts a solid six hours on my collar.

The scent lasts a good 6-7 hours on my skin, though I wish the initial burst wasn't quite so sharp. I've been layering it with a vanilla oil to soften the dry-down, and it's turned into a cozy, sophisticated everyday fragrance.

The scent itself is pleasant—a woody base with a subtle floral note—but longevity is disappointing; it fades to a skin scent within three hours. I’d expected more staying power for the price.
