Guys, if you ever wished you could have a male version of Hoyden - I think this is it.

 

This is very three-dimensional to my nose: like walking through an overgrown backyard, that pervasive scent of sun-warmed green grass, and a touch of outdoor ambiance. At first I really enjoy the grass and vetiver combination, but over time I get a soapiness wafting up which might be the balsam - I don't think I do well with that particular note. But if you prefer the nature/clean green kind of scents you should try this one, and it is really appropriate for Summer - not too heavy to wear on a hot day.

 

I'm giving this one to Mr. "I like to smell like a tree," as he'll consider it proper man-scent.

What Luna said except I do not get the soapiness on my skin. I always like to wear a fragrance 2-3 times before I post a review on it and I actually wore this one like 4-5 times before coming here to write a review, hence the delay.

 

This is the smell of the field out back that is surrounded by woods when the grass is high. It is outdoors: grass with woods on the edge. I am not saying it is a simple scent - there are certainly layers. But is is simple in the sense that it is ... outdoors.

 

This is a great summer outdoorsy scent. I have a FB.

I love the name and lable. I have to admit I loved the name (old movie nerd here) so much that I was a little disappointed when I saw it was a men's scent.

 

Well, it's grass. Like GRASS, when I first put it on. Just like a freshly cut lawn. After a bit I get wiffs of the mosses, woods etc. It dries down to an all encompassing "outdoorsy" scent with just a whiff of perfumed refinement. It's got a little of that Gentleman Farmer thing going on. Nice. But, it might make you sneeze when you first put it on.
