Wild
Fragrance notes
Character
Wild opens with a sharp, herbal snap. Cypress and St. John’s Wort cut through the air like a green switch, while santolina adds a bristly aromatic warmth. The resins and soil tincture soon emerge, pulling the scent downward into damp earth and sweet labdanum. Opoponax and amber wrap everything in a dusty, balsamic haze. The result is the smell of a forest floor after a hot spring rain, where crushed weeds and pine needles steam beneath a resinous sun. It feels more natural than synthetic, but the construction nods to mainstream polish.
The performance is the weak link. Longevity sits around three hours, and sillage stays close to the skin, a quiet companion rather than a declaration. This scent works best in daylight, especially during the cooler months of spring and fall, or on a breezy summer evening. It suits a man who wants to smell grounded without shouting, one who prefers the scratch of bark to a bouquet of designer fruit. Skip it if you demand projection or all-day staying power. Wild is a single, honest snapshot of a walk through scrub and stone, not a grand narrative.
