It's funny to read so many reviews that call this a "feminine" or "womanly" scent, because on me, it was overpoweringly masculine. No candy, floral or creamy elements on me.
Wet: at first I got interesting, not unpleasant, indications of wood and leather, but they were soon overpowered by the patchouli, which seemed to get stronger and stronger for the first two hours. Down boy!
Dry: hours later, the patchouli is gone and I have a nice, still very masculine muskiness (I love the way all BPAL musks quiet down).
If I didn't have to go through the patchouli dominance phase, I would wear this whenever I was feeling more masculine.
