Apple and cinnamon settle into a drier, spicier woody base.
Bergamot, apple and black pepper open fizzy and fruit forward before cardamom, cinnamon and sage push it toward something drier and spicier than the original. Sandalwood, cedarwood and vetiver take over for a dusty, woody finish that fades to a skin scent within a couple of hours.
Perfumed by: Christian Dussoulier & Annick Menardo
KSI Take: This reads as a competent but fairly generic update, closer to YSL L'Homme or Versace Eros than anything with its own identity, and the apple shows up more in the sillage than it does up close. Wear it as an easy office fragrance since projection drops fast, not as something anyone is likely to compliment you on specifically.
