    A decant of Power sat in my box for weeks before I finally wore it. The base rests on Tolu Balsam and Labdanum β€” warm, grounded and easy to live with. After about twenty minutes the heart settles into Flowers, which is where the fragrance really shines. The trail is there if someone steps close, not across the room. I enjoy it when I wear it, yet I rarely think of reaching for it.

    A decant of Power sat in my box for weeks before I finally wore it. The drydown leans on Tolu Balsam plus Labdanum and that is exactly where it feels most comfortable. The very first sniff is crisp Coriander with Cardamon peeking through, very much my kind of start. It performs better in warmer weather β€” in the heat it opens up nicely. I wanted to like it more than I did.

    A friend passed me a decant of Power (2008) and I wasn’t prepared for it. The base rests on Tolu Balsam and Labdanum β€” warm, grounded and easy to live with. After about twenty minutes the heart settles into Flowers, which is where the fragrance really shines. Longevity is moderate and the trail is noticeable without being loud. This has earned a permanent spot in my rotation.

    I’ve been wearing Power on and off for a few weeks now (2008). The opening is built around Coriander and Cardamon β€” bright and immediately recognizable. The heart is the best part for me: Flowers feel carefully balanced. Longevity is moderate and the trail is noticeable without being loud. A very likeable composition that is easy to appreciate.

    I keep reaching for Power more than I expected to. Give it a little time and Flowers comes forward β€” smooth and well done. The heart is the best part for me: Flowers feel carefully balanced. After a few hours it becomes a soft skin scent with a lovely trail. A very likeable composition that is easy to appreciate.

    I needed a full wearing before I made my mind up about Power. As it settles, Tolu Balsam and Labdanum come through and give it real depth. Give it a little time and Flowers comes forward β€” smooth and well done. After a few hours it becomes a soft skin scent with a lovely trail. I can see this getting a lot of wear in my collection.

    I have owned Power for a while now and my opinion has only gotten stronger. After about twenty minutes the heart settles into Flowers, which is where the fragrance really shines. The first minutes are all about Coriander with a hint of Cardamon β€” it grabs attention without being pushy. Longevity is moderate and the trail is noticeable without being loud. It is fine, but it does not stand out in my collection.

    For a 2008 release, Power deserves more attention than it gets. The opening is built around Coriander and Cardamon β€” bright and immediately recognizable. The very first sniff is crisp Coriander with Cardamon peeking through, very much my kind of start. The drydown lingers pleasantly, and I do not need to reapply at lunch. I reach for it often and always enjoy the wear.

    A friend passed me a decant of Power (2008) and I wasn’t prepared for it. The base rests on Tolu Balsam and Labdanum β€” warm, grounded and easy to live with. That first spray gives a lovely Coriander/Cardamon impression that dries down smoothly. After a few hours it becomes a soft skin scent with a lovely trail. This one gets my highest praise β€” beautiful from start to finish.

    A couple of wears in, Power has really grown on me. The drydown leans on Tolu Balsam plus Labdanum and that is exactly where it feels most comfortable. The first minutes are all about Coriander with a hint of Cardamon β€” it grabs attention without being pushy. It is not the loudest scent I own, but the balance suits it well. I wanted to like it more than I did.
