Bvlgari Man Wood Essence opens with a clean burst of citrus and coriander — fresh, bright, and pleasant in a very designer-safe way. Nothing challenging here, just an easy, crowd-pleasing freshness that feels well-groomed and modern. As it settles, the woody heart steps in: cedar, cypress, and vetiver form a smooth, green backbone. It’s refined and wearable, but also quite familiar — the kind of woody accord you’ve smelled before, done neatly and without surprises. The dry-down leans into sweet benzoin, adding a gentle resinous warmth. This sweetness softens the woods nicely, though it never becomes deep or dramatic — more comforting than captivating. Overall, Wood Essence feels like a dependable everyday designer scent: fresh citrus up top, polite woods in the middle, and a soft sweet resin at the base. Not a “wow” fragrance, but an easy reach for office days, casual wear, or when you want to smell clean, woody, and put together without thinking too much about it. Sometimes, a quiet walk through familiar woods is all you need. 🌲✨

#sotd... Asad Elixir by Lattafa... Asad Elixir has a smoky woodsiness to it with some sweetness. I did pick up on a soft spiciness in the mid mixing with some vanilla. I've had this for a month now. I wanted to let it macerate some before giving it my review. I have noticed a small difference from the first time I sprayed it, so I know with more time this is going to be even better. With that said, as of right now after a month, I got 8 hours from it. I am giving this a 9 out of 10 pending a few more months it could become a 9.5 or 10....
