2. Format

Size: 250 ml spray can.

Form: Perfumed deodorant body spray (so not a premium Eau de Parfum bottle, but a sprayed body fragrance).

Packaging: Typical aerosol/can format for quick, all-over body and under-arm use.

Being a body spray, the concentration is lighter than traditional fine fragrance, making it more casual and accessible.

3. Sensory Profile

Based on the available notes (from one source):

Top: Bergamot, Orange, Apple

Middle: Lavender, Geranium

Base: Patchouli, Tonka Bean, Oakmoss

Interpretation:

The citrus (bergamot, orange) and apple give a fresh, bright opening—inviting and energetic.

Lavender and geranium bring a floral-green heart, introducing some classic “masculine-fragrance” herbs and florals.

The woody/earthy base (patchouli + oakmoss) with tonka Bean adds depth, warmth, a slightly sweet/vanillaish edge.
Overall: A fresh-to-woody scent with a green-floral middle and a supportive warm base.
User commentary suggests it stays noticeable (i.e., good projection) for a body spray.

4. Wears & Suggestions

When / where to wear:

With its fresh opening, it’s suitable for daytime use: casual outings, work, errands.

The woody base allows it to transition into evening use, especially if you’re going somewhere informal but want a bit more presence.

In a climate like Lagos (warm/humid), the fresh citrus and apple opening can feel uplifting and not too heavy.

Because it’s a body spray (lighter concentration), you might reapply if going out late or in a cooler/air-conditioned setting.

Pairing ideas:

Wear with smart-casual attire: e.g., a crisp shirt, chinos or dark denim. The fresh-woody profile suits that look.

For more formal evenings, you might layer it over a lightly scented moisturizer to give it a longer base.

In warmer daytime settings, a T-shirt + blazer + the spray can give you that “effortlessly groomed” vibe.

Longevity / performance:

As a body spray (vs full parfum), expect moderate but decent longevity. Some users say “lasts all day” for the price/format.

It may not last as long or project as heavily as higher-end Eau de Parfums, so application points matter (see next section).

5. Helpful Tips

Application points: Spray on clean, dry skin (and optionally on clothing with care) at pulse points: the neck sides, chest, inner arms. For body sprays, also applying across the torso gives good “presence”.

Distance & coverage: Hold the can about 15 cm (6 inches) from your body and spray once or twice—enough for confidence but avoid overspray.

Renew if needed: If you’re going out for a long evening, keep a small decant (if possible) or carry the can so you can refresh later.

Storage: Keep the can away from direct sunlight and high heat (especially relevant in Lagos/Ekiti humid climate) to preserve the fragrance and the spray mechanism.

Layering: If you have a neutral, unscented body lotion, applying a thin layer before the spray can help anchor the scent and improve longevity.

Clothing caution: While the can says “does not leave stain on clothes” (for some sprays of the brand)
always test on a small part of dark clothing first, especially if you’re wearing silk or delicate fabrics.

Alternate use: Although targeted at men, fragrance is very personal—if you like the scent profile, it can work for any gender.

Match to mood: Because it’s fresh-woody, if you’re going for a purely very casual or sporty look (e.g., gym, heavy sweat) this might feel a bit more “groomed” than needed; in that scenario maybe just a lighter deodorant or fewer sprays.
