khazakant Report post Posted March 15 I'm not sure why I bought this because BPAL's ozone accord doesn't tend to agree with me. I think I mostly wanted the tobacco absolute, which is up there with hay absolute in stuff so beautiful you could just bottle it and be done with it. It's a very astringent scent, strict and bracing, with the feeling of heavy rain if not the smell. Honestly to me it smells more like a minty ink stick than anything else (where is the mint coming from?!). I was hoping it would morph into something I liked a little better on drydown, but not really. If you want a minty herbal you could do worse, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jarek Report post Posted April 25 (edited) The musks are almost sweet, not quite syrupy, not quite fruity, there is a bit of a tingle in my nose but I don't smell mint. The tobacco is there beneath, bitter, cutting through the sweet musks. I'm not quite getting the ozone note but I've only smelled it in Lightning before so I could just be lacking enough familiarity in order to pick it out. After a couple hours the intensity of the musks scales back and the tingle in my nose is gone, but it's still fairly sweet and musky. It's really nice. I think I can make out the sandalwood now too. I like this one a lot more during this second test, and I may like it even more with further testing, but I'm still not sure I'll get a bottle of it. Very pleasing though. Glad I got a decant.
