This was the scent I was most looking forward to since I tend to like woodsy scents. And for the first time I’m having a pretty bad skin reaction. Severe redness, burns a bit. I have tons of perfumes with cinnamon notes that I haven’t reacted to, so I don’t think it’s that. And I have enough “fir” and “cedar” perfumes that I don’t think that’s it either. I’m pretty sure it’s the oak because this is the only scent I’ve had that’s listed it as a note.
Unfortunately it was only on for maybe a minute or two before I started trying to scrub it. After a few washes I still smell a really nice fir note, and I’ll say I do smell the cinnamon kind of rounding out the fir note– it doesn’t smell separate.
Spicy and woodsy, very manly
This is a deliciously spicy and woodsy scent, not something I would normally reach for but would smell great on your beau sort of situation. Lots of foresty greens with warm spices.
