‘Bright fresh woody floral with an amber whisper. Introduced by clove and saffron, the Sandalwood, Cedar and Rosewood and lily-of-the-valley provide the woodland heart of this fragrance, both fresh and slightly soapy. The base reveals light and soft animalic notes ambergris and musk. Silvanus, Roman God of the forests and wilderness, protector of nature and deity of agriculture provides the inspiration for this aromatic woody fragrance.’ – Electimuss

Silvanus is not really my jam, but wearing it together with some heavier and sweeter Electimuss fragrances, it was sort of a welcome change of direction.

This is more of a soapy floral. It feels white or light green to me, but it has a strong plasticy vibe from the saffron. It feels laminated. I like the soapiness and it’s pretty interesting. The synthetic, plasticy vibe is almost aquatic, but it doesn’t smell bad (as in Nautica Voyage type of synthetic for example). This still feels classy.

Silvanus also still quite dense for a Summer fragrance, but I would categorize it as such. I could see myself enjoying this in a crisp white shirt on a nice day. More understated than some of the Electimuss and more versatile. Not a real favorite of mine however.
