Our take

Signature II opens with a surprisingly tart bite of pineapple and ginger, the pear adding a slick, almost cosmetic sweetness that feels more polished than natural. This is not a shy fragrance; it announces itself with a fruity brightness that risks tipping into cloying before the heart steps in. The balsam fir and labdanum arrive like a cool hand on a fevered forehead, pulling everything into a woody, resinous middle that suggests a forest floor after a maple-syrup spill. That syrup note, along with walnut and Ambertonic, forms a base that is sweet but not gooey, more like a sticky sap than a dessert.

The overall character is a cedar holiday cabin where someone dropped a tropical fruit salad on the rug. It feels synthetic in the best celebrity-fragrance sense, glossy and mass-appealing, but with enough conifer bite to keep it from being generic bubblegum. Given its weak longevity and sillage both hovering around 2.7, this is a scent that stays close to the skin and fades within a couple hours, making it better for short daytime wear than any serious evening commitment. It suits someone who wants a sweet woody vibe without challenging their surroundings. Skip it if you crave projection or complexity, because this is a polite spritz, not a statement. Wear it on a cool spring afternoon when the sun is bright but the air still has a chill, and accept that by dinner, you’ll be reaching for a top-up.
