The first blast smells like I knocked over a saltshaker and a jar of matcha while ripping open a bag of prunes. The prune note is impressively realistic. The boozy notes eventually round out the prune into something more perfume-y, and the patchouli and matcha combine into an earthy base note. I’m not sure this is the perfume for me, but I hope I’ll see more of this delicious prune note in future blends!

Beautiful juicy plum and anise are the first things that jump out wet on the skin. After a few minutes the “smoldering” clove joins the party, smelling very much like the clove in Thorn’s clove cigarette. After an hour the anise disappears, leaving a dark purple throb of plum, clove, and a subtle touch of brandy. This one’s a stunner, very evocative of the inspiration for the scent.
