It is a clean, natural, and discreet pine scent. I consider it ideal as an aftershave because it contains castor oil, so I use it after showering to apply a generous amount on my body, or during the summer months when I want something light to freshen up without being too overpowering. Don't expect it to have a long-lasting effect because it doesn't! And that's not the purpose of this type of cologne. If you take into account the price, quantity, and packaging that comes in a nice glass bottle, then I believe it is a value for money product. If you want a longer-lasting effect, a good tip is to also apply a quantity on your clothes, it helps a lot!
