Very masculine, exotic, mysterious scent with a subtle sweetness from mastic,lavender,musk and sandalwood. The scent stays with you all day long. I had strangers (both male & female) complimenting and asking the name of the cologne...
Christopher DiCas opens with spicy fruit-floral notes (citrus-rose-clove) that remind me of classic potpourri aromas – not the musty/dusty cheap-smelling potpourri one finds everywhere these days, but old-style wet' potpourri made with fresh ingredients: oily citrus peels, soft rose petals, pungent cloves and Ceylon cinnamon bark.This scent reminds me of that potpourri; its aroma is rich but clear; as Christopher Dicas dries down, I also smell mastic,spices, interesting musk (ambrette seeds?) and woods. This scent smells delicious, festive, and it's almost gourmand.
