Jaunty and fierce! Clean as freshly-washed dirt, sharp as a brick. Lemon oil, oak moss, patchouli, white aniseed, and a pink rose in the lapel, because...well, yu never knows...
Official Sniff Testing:
Immediately after applying I was slapped by the moss and patchouli. I had a hard time detecting the other notes, which worried me. Very dirty-earthy.
After the oil dried down the patchouli/moss combo settled quite a bit. The lemon oil and floral notes were very pleasant together, if still a little faint, and I'm guessing that the aniseed was the slightly sweet, slightly spicy scent barely hanging in there. It was a tiny bit like black jelly beans, but only the TINIEST bit---more like the idea of jelly beans than the actual scent, you know?
Throughout the day the patchouli continued to fade a little bit and the floral and aniseed notes became a little more prominent.
The scent is easily detected for about six hours. It's been over twelve hours and I can still smell it on my wrists. I think this is the longest I've noticed any of these perfumes lasting!
Overall Impression
I would call this a masculine floral. It's definitely lady-friendly, though. I think this would be a good floral scent for people who don't normally dig anything flowery. It's like a floral with training wheels. Patchouli training wheels. But not hippie patchouli. It's good patchouli. No offense intended to any persons out there subscribing to the hippie lifestyle.
Aaaaand I guess patchouli smells like dirt. The more you know!
