Is this scent more for men or women?+−
While it was originally marketed with a focus on men, its "woody spicy" classification and balanced citrus notes have led many modern enthusiasts to treat it as a unisex fragrance. Its lack of heavy sweetness makes it wearable for anyone who appreciates classic structure.

It is most effective in spring and fall. The citrus and mint notes provide enough freshness for warmer days, while the woody, resinous base of cedar and patchouli carries enough weight to hold up in cooler air.
