I get mainly fir, pinecones, and a whiff of patchouli on wet. As it dries, some of the red musk, metal, and a whiff of incense comes through. Honestly, this is a very Weenie-pine forest scent on me. Gender neutral toward masculine to my nose. This is superbly well crafted, and deeply nuanced. Also subtly sexy. Maybe you're on your way to an orgy? Medium throw and wear length.

White tea, Italian bergamot, jasmine sambac, and cucumber.

Remnants of a shadowy rite.

White amber, morning glory petals, green sap, and dewdrops.

Sooty black pepper, black patchouli, leather, and cacao.

Leather, hint of patchouli and a whiff of spice. Smells like manly dude leather. You can't miss the leather. This is a small sniff test before I send this to my bearded tester friend. I will update once I get his input.

Smells like falling face first into a Christmas tree farm at the onset of winter.

PINE FOREST IN YOUR FACE. This smells like pine pine pine. Ugh, which honestly smells fabulous as spring is heating up into summer. This is a small sniff test before I send this to my bearded tester friend. I will update once I get his input.

Sweet brandy, dark rum, heavy cream, sugar, and a dash of nutmeg.

This smells like egg nog. Cream, sugar, nutmeg, and rum. Honestly, it sort of reminds me to a type of pudding or custard. Foodie. This is a small sniff test before I send this to my bearded tester friend. I will update once I get his input.

Dust, red musk, and a whiff of leather. This one smells dusty. This is a small sniff test before I send this to my bearded tester friend. I will update once I get his input.

A deep, shadowy heady green incense.

Piney, and it sort of smells like oregano to my nose? This is a small sniff test before I send this to my bearded tester friend. I will update once I get his input.

Incense wafting through a gingerbread maze.

This is mainly a chewy gingerbread spice smell. I don't smell a ton of incense. This is a small sniff test before I send this to my bearded tester friend. I will update this review once I get his input.

No additional scent description.

I can't believe no one has reviewed this one yet. This is a chewy tobacco, hint of chocolate and hay. It's mainly a tobacco/dark chocolate blend on me, with enough of a hay note to lighten it considerably. But yeah, tobacco sexy sweetened up by the chocolate. Fans of Bulgarian Tobacco SN, should give this a whirl. It's very good. Medium throw and wear length.

Lavender, oudh, and a whiff of white musk. So musky oudh and lavender. Sadly, too much oudh for my nose.

Dirty sexy patchouli with a hint of chocolate to temper all that glorious patch. This one is down and dirty patch.

No additional scent description.

Dry cocoa, and a hint of kola nut. Its a dusty nutty cocoa smell. This is like high quality slightly sweetened cocoa. Delicious.

Sweet foodie heaven. This is a very realistic brownie and butterscotch HG. This smells like the real deal. Ooey gooey brownies. Damn, now I want brownies.

Honey-dusted amber, tonka bean, and clove.

Clacking white sandalwood drenched in whiskey and a puff of cigar smoke. For the lads - I get a bay rum-ish blend with cigarette and a whiff of sandalwood. The whiskey codes to bay rum in my hair, but you know, you may get whiskey. Manly, smoky. Good throw and wear length.

Lord of the cycle of death and resurrection, he is the personification of the rhythms of order found deep in the cycles of nature. He is the embodiment of virility and male fecundity and shepherd of souls to the afterlife. Ash and white cedar, frankincense and acacia, holly and oak, verbena and nettle. Verbena (which adds this citrus edge), cedar, frankincense. This smells like manly cedar. Or more like a manly cedar perfume. There's a bit of greenery peeking through which is either holly or nettle. Good throw and wear length.
