skeptical of Oriental Woody dupes in general, this one changed my mind. Ginger up top is super clean, and the Vanilla in the base just stays with you all day. very close to a 5 for me, just doesn't quite hit that signature note.

i'm very picky with Oriental Woody and this one passed the test. a new signature for me, no doubt.
