A masculine woody fragrance centered around teakwood and cedar notes. An affordable option from Bath & Body Works' men's collection.
What People Say
The teakwood-cedar combo is genuinely smoky and dry without tipping into cologne-counter cliché — it reads as actual wood rather than a synthetic approximation.
Works exceptionally well as a home or linen spray substitute, with fans applying it to bedding, cars, and clothing rather than skin — the sillage in a small space is notably strong.
Widely cited as a crowd-separating office safe bet: the musk keeps it from going full lumberjack, so it sits close enough to the skin to be professional without disappearing entirely.
For people just entering fragrance, the teakwood accord here is a clean introduction to dry woody masculines without the intimidating complexity of niche alternatives.
Longevity on skin is genuinely poor — most users report it fades noticeably within two to three hours, requiring heavy reapplication just to maintain any presence.
The teakwood note, while pleasant, is somewhat thin and one-dimensional; there's no development or dry-down to speak of, it just slowly disappears.
Fragrance enthusiasts frequently point out it smells more like a room spray or candle from the same brand than a proper skin fragrance, which undercuts its legitimacy as a cologne.
Great for
Casual fragrance users who want an inoffensive, clean-woody scent for daily wear without committing to anything complex or expensive.
Not for
Anyone who prioritizes longevity and skin presence — if you expect a fragrance to last through a full workday without touching up, this will frustrate you.
Longevity
Two to three hours on skin before it becomes a ghost scent; performs significantly better on fabric than on skin.
Projection
Light to moderate at best — close to the skin almost immediately, rarely detectable beyond arm's length after the first hour.
Value
Budget-friendly enough that the short wear time doesn't feel like a betrayal, but it's better understood as a body mist tier product than a proper cologne investment.
