I bought the discovery set and I was very anxious about it; I wanted a fresh fragrance with great longevity... Unfortunately for me and my taste, it has anise in it, which I cannot stand at all. The opening is nice and fresh, it gives off a bit of the freshness of cucumber and sea, but in the dry down, the freshness disappears and it remains with a strong anise note and something else like smoke. Great longevity and projection, but you definitely need to get a sample before purchasing. It will either blow you away with its quality and unique profile or the opposite.
