Shadow saw a gray-haired old Eastern-European immigrant, with a shabby raincoat and one iron-colored tooth, true. But he also saw a squat black thing, darker than the darkness that surrounded them, its eyes two burning coals; and he saw a prince, with long flowing black hair and a long black mustache, blood on his hands and his face, riding, naked but for a bear skin over his shoulder, on a creature half-man, half-beast, his face and torso blue-tattooed with swirls and spirals. Unfiltered cigarettes, the leather and metal of sledgehammers, aortal blood slowly drying, and black incense. Czernobog is such an interesting fella. I get a ton of metal, with some red blood, and a touch of incense and smoke. It's cleaner than what the description is allowing for - but it's not clean metal. And yet in other ways, this smells like an old Eastern European // from the old country // would smell. You know the type. The kind that can wears pants (never jeans, not a suit, but jeans are too modern for him), but also has a rifle to shoot a bear, but would be OK to wrestle a bear with his bare hands because sometimes you just have to do what you have to do, drinks vodka/firewater copiously, can swear mightily but also has some old fashioned manners. It's definitely a hammer smell that has been used - and maybe bashed a couple of fingers in the meantime as well. Uncompromisingly male, but not quite feral but not quite tame either. I'm surprised at how much I'm actually enjoying it as a smell. It has a low throw but great wear length.

This to me was super musky neroli. I got a ton of musk, and orange blossom and oranges.

Funky fungal honey. This one is a roller coaster where it starts off as funky fungal dirt notes and then dries to a more honeyed note. Still sort of dirty. Medium throw and wear length.

Lemon and salt, and this is definitely a savory honey. Medium throw and wear length. Love that salt note though.
