Funny, this reminds me a lot of Antico Caruso, which I wore all weekend, because has a very easy-going casual elegance that reminds me of airy linen suits and cool but sunny days. There's more citrus on top but as it fades it turns into a masculine herbal/floral fragrance that's borderline feminine. Notes of lavender and was smell to me like neroli (not listed) keep it on the masculine side, I guess. This is all on a bed of musk that reminds me of Helmut Lang EdC, too. Between the two (Antico Caruso and Lang EdC) I am in agreement that this is without a doubt a masculine fragrance. Slightly soapy, there is a touch of powder to this with a slight bitterness when I put my nose in it. But in the headspace between my nose and my wrists this smells fantastic. I am really enjoying this and think it's perfectly suited to the 70 degree day ahead. But this won't replace my Lang EdC or my Antico Caruso.
