I might need to get my hands on this. Pine needles, oakmoss, Castoreum, cedar, civet & agarwood with those top & mid notes sounds truly inviting for me. Yes, I'm one of the weirdos that actually likes the Pine Tree scented car freshener trees available everywhere (my daughters hate getting in my SUV when going out somewhere. I purposely add 2 to 3 extra trees plus a couple sprays from a scented sprayer of the same and take the long route to our destination just to see their petrified faces & the look. I giggle immensely though, they do crack the windows regardless if it's freezing outside) aa I always have half a dozen or so on hand at all times.

It's sheer craziness and at times without explanation why I love specific fragrances. As Russel Brandt once stated on the Bill Maher Show about the state of modern day media news outlets, "It's a practice of full nutcrackery" that I apply to the fragrance world as well. Que sera, sera....

Aquatic (light saltiness that works), Leather & Patchouli that grounds the fragrance beautifully. Truly a nice composition that can be worn all year long. Not sweet (there is some but, not to the extent of the syrup bombs of today) nor to bitter or overly dry. Just a real good mix of masculine notes that are blended to near perfection.

Kenzo Homme Eau de Parfum '22.

Nothing crazy about it, if that is. your kind of thing, I can vouch for it being very good. It's what I was hoping Targee Forest would be. I wouldn't call it out and out pine, or air freshener, it's green and animalic in a very good way. I get a strong Polo vibe myself, but maybe my memory is askew there. In any case it's clearly referencing the wonderful masculines of that era, and done with care.
