While it's described as having notes of orange, it's not a sweet orange scent, but rather the bitter aroma of orange peel. The woody undertones blend well, giving it an incense-like quality. It has a unisex feel, so it shouldn't be gender-specific. The compact size also makes it easy to carry around and apply.
ConsThe price is high compared to the volume. The fragrance, longevity, and sillage are all quite weak.

The woody notes evoke images of old furniture or wooden houses, with a pungent patchouli-like woodiness that can be overpowering. But this woody scent is accompanied by pleasant nuances, like a watery note that lingers in the background, making it increasingly appealing the more you smell it. The initial citrus and geranium notes, along with a spicy element, are quite prominent. Having smelled geranium up close during the non-winter seasons, this fragrance captures that exact aroma. Geranium itself has a slightly spicy floral scent. The bottle color also complements the fragrance beautifully. It has a substantial feel, yet maintains a clean and lively impression. This could be a fragrance that surprises those with a discerning palate.
ConsThe men's skin care aroma is still quite noticeable, though.

It seems to be a versatile fragrance that can be worn regardless of season or gender. The longevity is also quite good, and the spray distribution is even, which is nice.
ConsThere weren't really any downsides. However, the fragrance can be a bit heavy, so it may cause headaches for those whose preferences don't align with it.
TipThe citrus note fades away rather quickly, while the woody character tends to linger for a longer time.

The initial scent is really like a bitter orange peel, so it feels like a cigarette smell.ㅋㅋ It's also like the smell of pine bark, and it has that kind of aroma.ㅋㅋ However, this scent doesn't last long, and the warm woody scent quickly rises up, blending in shallowly. Since I don't really like strong woody scents, this is a perfume I'm using very well.ㅋㅋ Among woody scents, I prefer something more blended and soft, like Tom Ford Oud Wood, but Diptyque Tam Dao... I really... hate it. 😧 So even those who don't like woody scents that much might want to try this one out. It's available at Olive Young. And the sillage is very... nice. I don't know how to express it.😣 The review said it's similar to Terre d'Hermès, and I also felt that the sillage is similar to my Hermès perfume.ㅋㅋ Maybe it's because it's the same brand.ㅋㅋ I'm using Eau des Merveilles and Sur la Roche, and although the two have very different scents, the sweet or cool-cozy feel of each was familiar to me.😮 Personally, it's my favorite among the perfumes I have..ㅎㅎ It goes well with just a shirt and slacks or a skirt. Lastly, my eyes are sensitive, so I don't often spray perfume, but this one is strangely not irritating to my eyes.. I don't know why, but this and Guerlain are the only perfumes that don't hurt my eyes.😂
ConsIt's 15ml, but 50,000 won is not that cheap for a perfume, is it?ㅋㅋ I thought it would be inexpensive but high-quality, but 50ml is the price of a department store perfume.ㅎㅎ But since I always end up using less than half and throwing it away, 15ml is more satisfactory for me. And I think it's not suitable for women in their early 20s, I'd recommend it for women in their late 20s or 30s. There are also many comments saying it's a unisex scent, so I sprayed it on my boyfriend, but it smells completely like a women's perfume.ㅋㅋㅋ I guess it would be good for men who can pull it off.ㅎㅎ
TipI used to spray it on my wrists, but the scent would wash off every time I washed my hands, so lately I've been spraying it right on my neck area. The spray doesn't spread too much, it's a concentrated mist!! It's perfect for spritzing on the back of my ears.ㅋㅋ

I'm wearing it right now, and it's a bit mysterious.. I think they named it well. It has a refreshing orange scent(?) -I have no idea what the top, middle, and base notes are, but the scent becomes heavier and more woody over time. A subtle woody aroma 🪵 -Some people may love this scent, while others may find it headache-inducing. The fragrance is not really my personal preference.. 😇 -When should I wear it? It would probably suit formal attire or neat clothing better than casual wear. -The longevity of the scent is quite good. It lasts a long time even without applying any additional balm.
Cons-Hmm.. Huxley has 4 fragrances, right? I'd like to try the others as well 😂 When it comes to perfumes, if the scent is not your personal preference, you can't give it a high rating no matter how pretty the packaging is..

It comes in an oval-shaped box that matches the product color, capturing the aesthetics perfectly🏹 The fragrance is good. I'd like to describe it simply as citrus woody. At first, the sharp citrus peel note is quite strong, but this citrussy quality gradually softens yet persists almost throughout. Meanwhile, a woody and masculine skin-like scent also comes through. It's a neutral and light fragrance, not overpowering or anything, just a clean scent. It might not suit those who typically prefer floral, fruity, or bold fragrances. It's a scent that can be worn by both men and women without any issues. As someone who has multiple perfumes, I know it's hard to finish them all, especially if it's not a signature scent. The small size is actually great, as it's easy to carry around in a pouch.
ConsStill, the price is quite high considering the volume.

The top notes are strongly, very strongly citrusy. Personally, I find that strong citrus notes can come across as tobacco-like, and this captures that exact feeling. It's the scent of a tall, model-like man wearing a leather jacket and expensive cologne, taking his first cigarette on a cool autumn evening. It has that vibe of a handsome model-type that the flower boys would go for. I actually really dislike scents like this, but this one is quite nice - it's unique and interesting. It starts off fresh, but as it develops, a warm note comes through. There's a hint of amber in the base, but it's not overpowering, just gently cradling the strong, sharp citrus. I think this would suit men best, but women could pull it off too. Someone on YouTube said it's similar to Hermès' Terre d'Hermès, but I haven't tried that one myself, so I can't really compare. But this 15ml bottle is 48,000 won, while the Hermès is over 160,000 won for 75ml, so Huxley is quite a bit more affordable. The packaging is sensual and clean, just like the Huxley aesthetic, so it looks very luxurious. I don't think this would suit teenagers, but from the 20s onwards, it would work well with a more cynical or sophisticated image. Keywords like 'unique' and 'cynical' suit this much better than 'adorable', 'cute', or 'bubbly'. Even though this isn't really my preferred scent, the more I smell it, the more I'm enjoying it.
ConsIt's not 30ml, but 15ml for 48,000 won. It's really tiny! And it's definitely not cheap - at 75ml, it would be well over 200,000 won.
TipRather than tips, I'd say the more you smell this, the more you'll come to love it. The slightly bitter citrus is ever-so-gently wrapped in a hint of amber, and it's just so well-balanced. I'd really recommend giving this a try, even if you normally dislike woody or citrusy scents.
