I panicked a little when I smelled the bottle. I couldn;t smell a thing! Once it's on though it's an instant sucess. Perfect vegan chocolate cupcakes with a dark hint of a dusty wood floor. I say vegan because the chocolate isn't full, milky chocolate but a most subdued cocoa on me. Couldn't stop smelling my wrist and the lovely darkness keeps creeping up my nose when I move. Lovely.

To my nose this is the perfect combination of the notes listed. The sweet pipe smokes rises first and the smooth wood curls around it. It's sweetened just enough by the coffee. I just love the way the notes are quite distinct yet perfectly in harmony. This is different but better than I imagined.

Joy!

I have found the bravery to write my first review. It was hiding behind the frustration I have just felt after applying Misk U and almost crying. Dramatic, yes?
I have been lusting after this scent for as long as I've known about bpal since the description is perfection. Coffee fiend who would hide in an ancient library under a giant old book for the rest of her life? I should smell like Misk U.
When I apply it it smells like putting your face into a big bowl of toffee popcorn into which someone has inexplicably dumped a huge bag of cheesy nachos.
My sadness, let me show it to you.

A library is what I want to smell like most of all. The only thing about all the scents I've read about here that's scaring me is the incense note. Any suggestion on which is closest to a lovely old library where they don't believe in incense?
