Canali Men by Canali (2005)

Lots going on here! The fruity-spice opening has more warm spice than fruit (thankfully). The spice is rather sweet. Fairly heavy middle with all the floral notes. The base is also quite dense, with some good wood notes. I feel that this sense is extremely dense -- it would benefit from having more open space in it, and also having the sweetness dialed back considerably.
Top Notes: bergamot, mandarin, pineapple, apple, coriander, nutmeg, cardamom
Heart Notes: muguet, jasmine, orange blossom, violet
Base Notes: iris essence, leather, guaiacum wood, cedar wood, oak musk, sandalwood, vetyver, tonka bean, amber

Tried this years back. Unfortunately it didn't work for me.

I understand. The early stages are a bit challenging for me. However, 2+ hours later, there is a lovely incense, earthy vetiver chord that is very enjoyable.

Still own half a bottle. Decent fragrance. I see the prices have skyrocketed in the past few years.
