it goes on as biting benzoin and lavender, and quickly turns deeper with fig and incense. then settles within a few minutes to just a very soft mix, all note fading soft and together
-
on my skin it's a candy-like orange, very sweet citrus isn't really good on me, so I'm not going to leave it on, but it doesn't go instant "cleaner" which is good
-
oddly spicy, warm, almost cinnamony. then the rose comes out (which I amp)
-
Salty ocean spray, red kelp, black plum, lychee, sea moss, green musk, hachiya, plum blossom, and matcha. very soft on my skin - floral and salt.. I can't pick anything out specifically because it's so soft and blended
-
bite of patch and labdanum which comes off as a heady, biting floral-like scent. no vanilla. I don't think any saffron. the leather comes out after an our or two, but it's a wet brown leather that's just not that appealing to me.
-
voluminous! I applied a tiny bit to my wrist and I feel like I'm in a cloud of it. My throat is not thanking me, so this will be a pass for me. The scent itself is middling. It's powdery on my skin. up close (nose to wrist) I can pick out the sweet myrrh and champaca (which is kind of powerdery itself) and maaaybe a hint of vanilla. The other notes just blend into the cloud of scent that I apparently amp. *edit - after about an hour it settles some - slightly more vanilla/sandalwood and less powdery and enveloping cloud
-
soapy citrus that is all well..I may be forcing some vanilla with my imagination right before the soapy citrus takes over it's real light and stays close to the skin
-
almost candylike initial sweetness (orange blossom?) then champaca mainly and sandalwood over the sweetness. Very strange.
-
an odd bite of musk? Sun baked saffron. Hint of myrrh, maybe hint of leather underneath, very close to skin and disappears in a few short hours
-
I am going to wear it again and post my thoughts (love it enough to order 2 backup bottles), but I wanted to share that I wore it on a lunch date with the hubby and the woman who owns the cafe/antique shop we were at said "Someone smells good!" I quickly chirped that it was me and she added "I hope you don't take this weird, but it's very unisex." she continued on how that was good
-
definitely grass, wetter and heavier than Bub, dirt and flowers (vague flowers) under the layer of grass.
-
wet: dark, sweet, sage and juniper bite, leather underneath. dry : Fades fast to a soft sage with hint of juniper, turns perfumy. Not bad, but no leather
-
this is yummy spice (is it the almond that's cinnamony?) that basically overpowers the sugar cookie. no rum on mine not the right mix for me
-
my first thought was "Vicks vapor rub" ....only nicer. this doesn't last beyond immediate reaction it stays very close to the skin and settles quickly...once settled I can pick out individual notes including the grapefruit, which isn't a scent I particularly like. it's white for sure

nice in bottle with hints of cinnamon, turns soapy but mixed evenly with patchouli and underlying cinnamon spice....so, weird fades away within an hour or two
-
initially I thought I liked this scent, but it's very muddled. It's a vague musk / resin scent and it doesn't last very long on me. It's almost cloying in a dry way occasionally I get a hint of clove, but
-
goes on as a warm blend of all 3 notes quickly settles to a soft yet still dirty patchouli and honey fades down close to the skin, honey may have given way to amber nice! but too soft on my skin
-
wow. very smoky and heady, the cognac is strong! So is sandalwood! Opium too really this is one for cognac note lovers this blend has too much of a bright bite for me and my sinuses
-
this just smells like "perfume" to me...reminds me of my grandmother's I can't pick out any specific notes (usually I can) but there is a warm note underneath the perfume that's probably the cinnamon if I let it sit a few minutes I think I can pick out the orange blossom, but still mainly "perfume" *edit* a few MORE minutes and the morph hits! orange definitely also vanilla and tobacco come out, and the cinnamon goes away still too perfumy for me, but nice to finally get the notes
-
very white and airy/heady patchouli and champaca, a very nice blend at first. then Cloying sweetness, thick and syrupy, heavy on the patchouli
-
very close to the skin, tobacco, woodsy/spicy/incense. Turns to a tobacco/hemp like note with a soapy bite
-
initially - dirty. not dirt. just dirty and a hint of sweet vanilla the hazelnuts do come out after a few minutes, but they dont make it smell any better so it's like a sack that's being drug around everywhere by filthy, dirty, goblins. something in the sack smells kinda nice if I take time to really let it settle an take a loooong sniff that gets to the notes inside the sack
-
sweet syrup-y fruit like canned fruit mix, turns strawberry sugary, maybe a hint of orange blossom and/or vanilla
-
the copper and blood turn sickly sour on me and permeate through the woods and musk, which actually balance it pretty well. it quickly settles to a mildly sour musky scent that if I take a loooong sniff I get copper (otherwise I can't distinguish the notes any more)
-
this is..... so faint I can hardly smell it - on my or in the imp!! direct nose to skin gets practically nothing kinda sweet, kinda brimstone but too faint to tell.
