This is a very pleasant, dignified blend. Of course, one would expect it be start with the base of Fujiyama Homme and build some more exotic tones on top of that (just like the Miyake scents do, as they are so similarly developed). The top has that lemony-citric component balanced with iris, and a touch of vetiver laying across a darker body of a soft aquatic note, a dash of ambergris, pepper,and tobacco that appear without taking over the fragrance, and several floral notes creating a delicate floral base that is formal, yet whimsical at the same time. If I had to give an example, it is like combining Issey, Polo Double Black, and about 2% Swiss Army Mountain Water that serves to hold the others togehter. The quality of the notes lean toward being slightly synthetic, but this is still very nice. Longevity and sillage are sub-par, which might not be a surprise given the price. However, if anyone gets close enough to sniff this, it will get compliments. I do not know if this is still in production, so beware of a bottle that might be older than 5 years, as these tend to concentrate and become offensive. This is lovely, but there are definitely drawbacks.
