About this deal
By combining citrus and herbaceous notes with exotic spices and woods that leave a lasting impression, this men's EDT is ideal for wearing day or night, and any occasion. I really had to grow up to this perfume, but I'm glad I did, giving it one more chance all over again. It's something that generally stays in the back corners of my fragrance closet as it's not something I reach for often.
I had this years ago and absolutely LOVED it at the perfume counter and on me, but, unfortunately, the scent just did not last.As it dries down the sandalwood, musk and tonka soften that initial cold blast, but in a very pleasant way. I've tried other perfumes with the tea-tree residue, and I've been left with the two things both present on my skin and 'fighting' each other. When I put this on, I envision all those nice things pretty, good girls might wear: small pastel-coloured sweaters, starched shirts, ditsy hair accessories, knee length pencil skirts. After the first 2 hours, an underlying very lightweight tonka/musk accord appears, clinging softly close to skin.
Funny side note: I've always been a little disappointed that I cannot easily travel with my bottle of Contradiction.I do not catch any vanilla in there , nothing of the kind, rather a plum, a scent of a fresh plum just cut open: this is the 1 full-bodied note I detect in the background. There are flowers like peony, lily, rose, lily of the valley, lilac and orchid composed with Tonka bean, blackberry sandalwood and musk?
