STORY by PAUL SMITH

The opening blast is a real beauty and quite unique: green saturated tones of ivy leaves and jasmine and a touch of spice blend perfectly with a bergamot-citrus mix; the result is exceedingly well blended.

In the drydown I get a bit of clary sage, soon followed by a very soft base composed of amber with cedar and a very light white musk.

The green-fresh-dark components are very well balanced without losing structure, and the quality of the complement is convincing in quality.

On the performance side the silage is adequate and the projection excellent. I get a longevity of six hours.

This scent is great on a cool spring day; it is one of my favourites from Paul Smith - a story I am very happy to listen to.  A delightful fragrance that shows that good scents need not be the most expensive ones.
