The opening blast with citrus and lavender is very nice, whilst the drydown has more of a floral character. A delicious anise is in the background, and on my skin it lasts throughout and even becomes a bit stronger over time. 

The counterbalance is a crisp sharp patchouli later combined with a good musk tone that is never too harsh but maintains a nice edge. There is a wood note in the base that blends in well.

A bit crisper that the original, this is a great scent for spring on cooler days. Good sillage and very good projection, with a splendid longevity of nine hours on me.  4.25/5
