... He is a Hermetic Magician's hero for the ages, and his scent is an elegant, timeless, truly refined cologne, bold yet classic: gilded amber, hypnotic lavender, brash carnation and deep mosses. This scent has forever reformed me of my fear of carnation in a blend. It could only be that which is spicing Saint-Germain to such a delicious level. In Bottle and Wet: Sharp and generically cologne. It makes my nose twitch. Dry: This turns into the most awesome spicy (carnation) warm/sweet scent on me. I get very little of the lavender note, or if it is I think it's an atypical lavender strain (maybe a dry climate lavender?) I actually CAN smell something similar to a lavender plant I used to have (I think it was Lavandula Dentata...a french lavender) that had a much dryer, spicier note. I am assuming that with the carnation, the two create that fuzzy spike, spine-tingling sharp throw I get from Saint-Germain. The moss + amber just grounds it to my skin and warms it all over. Final thought: I like male scents. Alot. I like this scent. BETTER. I'll have to snag a bottle for sure. Man this would make a good bath oil or soap...

I have been eagerly awaiting my first test of Hay Moon, the second that I saw it, so the second the bottle got into my grubby lil hands, I tried it! Wet: Someone molested my wrist with a lemon. Seriously... Dry: Spicy grassy...and then someone set FIRE to my hay field. The scent actually got SMOKEY on me! It reminds me of whenever we would burn the fields, and then a rain would come along right afterwords. You get the dry scent of what was before, and the smokey ash spice of what is after. I'm thinking it might start hitting a powder note, but as long as it keeps that fiery grass note, I will be a happy kid. LOVE this scent

This will be my first review here, but very appropriately it's for the first imp I ever received (about a year ago). First off, I'm a patchouli lover, no bones about it, and that is the number one thing that attracted me to this scent. I'm not very good at picking out unfamiliar notes like copal or heliotrope, but whatever it is, it warms and sweetens the sharp dirt-bite of the patchouli. After a short while on my skin, a sharp metallic zing begins to work under the primary olfactory influences. At first I would think it might be assimilating some of the copper scent from my bracelets, but it was in a place AWAY from them when I first tried GREED. The only downside to this is that depending on the time of the month, and my mood, this can ramp REALLY SWEET on me (as with many of the oils I've tried). Overall, after an hour, the scent turns almost sandalwood powdery (also a bit dusty paper), but its still extremely pleasant. Plus: This scent only deepens in richness with age, long lasting.
