Lippizan for men

Mostly cool and green, like herbs crushed between your fingers. Underneath that, dry and warm, like cedar shavings or the inside of a wooden drawer.

It opens on clary sage, thyme and tarragon, moves through galbanum, vetiver and virginia cedar, and settles on oak moss, leather and musk.

• clary sage: a warm, slightly boozy herb with a hay-like sweetness. Softer and less medicinal than ordinary sage
• thyme: dry medicinal herb, warm and slightly antiseptic

It lasts well and carries into a room.

Built from the note listing and the measured performance figures. We have not smelled this one.
