My husband adores this shower gel. He calls it "clean, very fresh, with some woodsy tones". The fragrance does linger an hour or so after showering and it smells quite divine from a woman's point of view. There's a good lather, and he managed to shave with it in the shower. I plan on using it as well since it smells so good. I'm a Calvin Klein & 4711 girl and adore men's scents much more than the flower power of women's colognes. To me this gel has hints of vetiver and sandalwood, with some "tree scent" thrown in for good measure. It reminds me of what our oak and cedar trees smell like after a good rain. It's clean and yet sexy. I don't think you'll be disappointed!
