Honestly if you're looking for a fresh scent, there's so many designers that do this exact style of fragrance way better. It is very woody and has incense in it, but not in a smoky masculine way (per my expectation for the BDC line), it does so in a candle like approach. Most people are going to like this, however I will say that in my opinion it has an "axe body spray" nuance to it which makes it a total nope for me.

The sour note eventually resolves into something resembling citrus, but only in the way a cheap room air freshener does. I would not recommend this to someone younger than 30 and not as a signature scent, but overall it performs good, and on the cheaper side for niche. This on the other hand, my wife loves, I love, and its something you can probably pull off all year around in the daytime.

Unfortunately, I couldn't perceive Vetiver, but I can imagine very well that this component was used for background music, or is even responsible for the sour accents mentioned above.I also get somewhat of a "clean laundry smell" from this, but from someone who is using a highly scented detergent. Not sure about others' comparison of it with urine or animal faeces, it doesn't smell even remotely like that to me. After a while I thought about the name more and I liked the idea of 'Wood and Spices', so I went back and tested it on my skin. Completely, nauseatingly synthetic, flashy and tacky, despicably stuffed with metallic stuff and artificial “roundness”.

When I looked at the note pyramid, I was expecting an uber-masculine alpha male scent that is unmistakably for men. It might make a very simple, almost aftershave for daily wear for a regular guy dad or someone like that.

Projects like a monster even if the wearer does not notice the smell, it's there and will be for awhile after you spray it. UPDATE: After looking through the "this reminds me of" section, Wood and Spices reminds me of a higher quality Bogart Silver Scent Deep.

Clearly a bit overrated scent, it dries down in a woodsy spicy - sweet type of fragrance, I smelled better Sandalwood + spices based fragrances like Xerjoff - Ivory route.

My problem is it has this greenish nuance and this combination of creamy aromatic sweetness is cloying to me in the first 2 hours while the fragrance pushes stronger. Tra la tostatura fumosa dell'incenso si fa spazio la dolcezza di un sandalo che si fa sempre più zuccherino e mieloso, fino a dar fastidio. Completely, nauseatingly synthetic, flashy and tacky, despicably stuffed with metallic stuff and artificial “roundness”.

Heavens help me, this gunk also has terrific projection and sillage, and I'm afraid I will be smelled in the next room. Like having a promising hand to begin with then being sold down the river in a game of texas hold 'um! The incense isn't super pronounced on my skin, but there is a smoky undertone to the entire composition, so it's definitely there.

I'm only a few minutes into the wear, but this strikes me a rather designer take on vetiver and woods.Performance is exactly as expected from a Montale - longevity, projection and sillage are above average but not nuclear like Arabians Tonka or Ristretto Intense Cafe.
