Cedar / Cedarwood
Lili Bermuda (2006)

Pleasant but very weak rapidly becoming almost nondescript.
The fist 5 minutes are promising with a moderate cedar bergamot combination. You think great. A subtle unmistakably male fragrance and you settle down with comfortable expectation of a solid dry down but it just goes ...poof! leaving a sad sallow shadow cowering around your skin for a couple of hours. What a disappointment. And you certainly don't want that to be a reflection of you.
I bought this on the strength of the previous review so this is a nice counterargument but in contrast to a court of law which is usually nothing to do with the truth just who is the better story teller this is obviously very skin chemistry sensitive. So happily we could both be right!

Fragrance: 6/10
Projection: 5/10
Longevity: 5.5/10

My personal favorite of all the Lili Bermuda scents. Bergamot, Lavender and Cedarwood blend for an uplifting, rich, dry, sensual burst. Dry down is cedar and oak - warm woods.

This is a reformulation of their classic men's scent from the 1940s, which was marketed as an after shave lotion. This earlier version was very concentrated and lasted many hours. I recommend trying to find a bottle if you like the newer version - this latter sadly lasts only an hour or so - one needs to keep re-applying.
