I think neptunienne pretty much nailed it. All I'd add is that in the bottle it smelled rather like the poppers we used to use in the 80's. Reminds me of a leather bar. (Which is a good thing.)

Once on it took a bit of time to settle down, but now dry after an hour or two, it's just this really gentle, smokey scent. I think I can smell the gun powder, but it faded quickly. I didn't know if I'd like this, I just ordered it because Agnes is one of my favorite characters from Good Omens. But this smells just right for her. I can see wearing this to school.

So, I'm two for two and getting ready to try my frimps. If any of the BPAL staff, especially Beth, reads this -- Thank you thank you thank you. You've got a steady customer in me.

This is my first review, so bear with me. I bought a 5ml of Dee based simply on the name and description.

In the bottle: Sweet, woody, but with a musk underneath that makes it very intense.

Wet: Wow! The tonka (?) comes out. I'm not getting any leather, maybe some rosewood. Is this too sweet and strong? Maybe.....

Dry on wrist: Oh! Give it about 15 minutes and the sweetness drops significantly. Definitely smelling the rosewood and tonka, just a hint of leather and parchment. Something dry. I can see I will want to use this sparingly, as it is quite strong. But wow, what an evocative scent. Very manly, but not overwhelming.

Overall: Still waiting to see how it lasts, but right now I can tell this is a keeper. What everyone else has said about it smelling sexy and like a library, all true. This is such a treat!
