Woody, Resinous, Probably Unisex
From first spray, Ocre Dore announces itself as a dry, woody, resinous scent. There's limited green at this stage, but the spice and very light tea note makes this seem like one sitting on a log in the woods on a hot summer's day, sipping chai tea.
The galbaneum in this just becomes more prominent as it wears on, lending a more intense resinous feel that is laced with a mild patchouli. This is the unfurling of the heart of Ocre Dore, and so it is beautifully laced with a curtain of oakmoss. There's something else that I can't put a finger on, maybe it's the mate and white truffle?
As it dies down, a little more green and labdanum shows up to balance out the woodiness, making the scent more "whole" - a resinous wood that for some reason, is almost tasty and warm.
The overall woodiness of Ocre Dore lends some masculinity to this fume, which is listed as one for women. I would say that this is what a woman would wear to feel in control, but a man could definitely pull this off without any problems.
Sillage was slightly wanting, but not bad at all. All in all, it lasted 5 hours, with the last hour or so existing almost like a skin scent.
