  1. Hmh, I love it! Eucaliptus, juniper, cypress... I knew I would like this one!

     

    The eucaliptus is all I can smell in the beginning, then it mixes with the juniper, then the cypress comes, and after that I perceive something that resembles ginger and must be the galangal, I love this perfume through all it's changes! Hours later, it is a faint woodsy green smell. Very fresh in the beginning, woodsy, medicinal, but I like that.

     

    I can only wish a werewolf would smell like this :P


  2. This smells SO synthetic on me :D (and also on the imp...)

     

    I tried to wait to see if it changed, first it smelled like rubber, then fake apple candy, ugh, and I wanted to like this one so much... I had to wash it off after half an hour, it made me sick. There was some smell lingering all the afternoon though, and I didn't like it at all :P


  3. This is my first review ever :P

     

    Bottle: Sharp and dry.

     

    Wet on skin: Slightly turpentinish at first. Draws the air out of my lungs, astringent, very dry. Medicinal. Calms down in a minute.

     

    Dry down: In the beginning it is a bit stranger to my skin, but after a few minutes it "melts" and starts smelling beyond my wrists. It comes to my nose, very subtly. It evolves and changes. The cypress is always there, grey and cold and also peaceful, the geranium comes out and blends perfectly, later on the orange blossom, subtle and sooting, bringing a dot of life and hope to this cold and grey, pensive scent, balancing it. On me, the mint is really subtle, and I can't place the lavender. It works really well with my chemistry, evolves to a very beautiful, evocative and most of all, calming scent.

     

    Overall: This scent is VERY evocative in me. I get a lot of images and feelings from my childhood, when I used to walk in silence and peace with my father in a hill/park in my hometown, which is rich in cypress and was pretty wild and abandoned at that time. It has made me write a lot of personal reflections on my private journal, it is so catarthic and so calming, that I am very grateful this scent was ever created, and more so that it has been resurrected after being discontinued, because I am gonna order a bigger bottle for sure, I so need inner peace and silence at this moment, but anytime it is very welcome. I hope it doesn't get discontinued again, because for some reason most people don't seem to like it :D
