I also get the Dead Leaves note when first sprayed, and it's not a note I'm a fan of. It does seem to fade and let the leather and pumpkin ride high, but then it all disappears
-
Wow. that is some strong brandy. The brandy alone has a heady throw. Think like Vicks powerful, but smells like brandy. As it dries it turns more mossy and woodsy, with the brandy underneath keeping it kinda sweet
-
I tried this for the leather, of which is understated there's some sweet brandy I can't wear anything "rose", as my skin amps it to headache levels; I was hopeful here, since this was on my hair, but no. Rose is absolutely the dominant note. Not headache levels (thankfully), but not a scent I'm fond of through association. brandy and rosewater strong, maybe some leather, but not enough for a leather lover I'm not sure what velvet is supposed to smell like
-
very orange chemical (not real orange, but also not "cleaner"). turns to powdery incense with hint of orange
-
BLACK SESAME! wow. that is STRONG. heavy-handed, even maybe some clove? almost has a sour note underneath no leather just a whooooooole bunch of sesame for hours. practically a single note I tested a tiny bit on my wrist, but it goes a long way
-
sleepy lavender, sweet fig, and a touch of cedar. The fig is....weird. As it wears, less lavender and fig, cedar is very soft, throw lessens.
-
pink pepper is sweet AND peppery, the clove is underneath, adding umph to the peppery, as it dries it almost has a campfire wood smell
-
green, watery... plant water, hint of "perfume". Yes, do get "spa" from this but it's way to green for me. I'm glad my LMT doesn't smell like this, but I expect it's an improvement for an orc lol

dead leaves note gives way to Black pepper, possibly charred wood, turns plasticy with clove

This is so good! I don't do "foody" scents and I'm seriously contemplating whether I need at least a partial bottle of this. fruity without being able to name that fruit, cardamom injects that warmth and soft spice, and creampuff. It is what it says it is. Very balanced. Not too sweet. Not too "foodie". Yet still sweet and delicious-smelling. The mystery fruit maintains being the top note, but it's so well supported, it's like really juicy fresh fruit plopped on top of that creampuff

Oooooooh. I am so happy this works for me. if you normally think DBR is a bit too sweet or whatever, don't let that scare you off here. It is actually leathery DBR without being one of the Lab's "leather" notes (most of which I adore). And the acid, ozone, and smoke are amazingly wearable. It's surprisingly light with a medium throw. I need multiple bottles stat.

sour almost-oud scent that I think is the red musk, some clove that's quickly overpowered, maaaaybe something a little floral, but I had to try washing it off within a few minutes....and I can still smell it hours later (just not as strong thankfully). Interestingly, at this point hours later, the red musk actually smells nice, though there's still a hint of something sour.

I had to look up copaiba balsam (Sweet, almost honeyed, balsamic, peppery) and hornbeam is a type of tree that goes by other names This goes on fresh and green, with copaiba balsam giving it a woody spice, a little soil if I sniff carefully enough. As it dries, it settles to more soil and grass, but neither very heavy. OVer a few hours it goes from med to low throw, and gets more balsam-spice, and possibly amber, but I'm not as sure on that note. It's a nice, neutral scent that I think I'll try later in a scent locket I did not get any florals (spring blossoms), which I'm not complaining about.
