doomsday_disco Report post Posted July 14 Beams of citrus, apricot, raspberry musk, and neroli herald daybreak, illuminating ambergris and myrrh shadows. Felix Edouard Vallotton Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wodnesse Report post Posted July 20 Took a chance on this one right away, wanting to expand my ambergris collection, I'm quite pleased with it. These are fresh from the mail impressions. out of the bottle - ambergris, neroli, and amber clouding over a citrus base; apricot and raspberry musk are not apparent wet. there's a lot more woodiness and bitterness at this stage that quickly evolves out once applied. wet on me - raspberry musk starts to come up on me right away, ambergris and neroli fall back and decrease their bitterness, the amber mellows out, citrus backs down too dry on me - i'm glad the myrrh is keeping to the shadows, it's listed last in the notes so I was counting on it being a background note and it does seem to want to stay there. this smells like being in the shade of a citrus orchard with warm woody notes and reserved fruity notes, lightly illuminated. apricot remains elusive on me, I mostly get the raspberry musk and the orange/citrus; the overall impression is very bright and peaceful, yet complex.

forspecial_plate Report post Posted August 9 The neroli is STRONG at first but that's just for a short while, it's a bit sharp and raspy. After that it smooths out and becomes more like the orange sunset scent I was hoping for. I think with some aging the neroli might calm down even more, my bottle is brand new. Like the reviewer before me, I don't get a lot of myrrh, and that's good because I tend to amp it more often than not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
