supreme_c0rt Report post Posted March 31 (edited) Garg is mostly oak/oakmoss on me, with the rest of the notes serving as warm, glowy, oh so flattering stage lighting for that star note. Not getting much incense or cedar, blackened or otherwise (granted I prefer my cedar to be punchier than most) so I assume these were lighter versions, or, once again, oak is stealing the show. I find myself missing them. Nonetheless, this handsome beard oil is charming and comforting, and would be right at home in the Steamworks line. Edit: Memory unlocked; Garg could be the cousin of Gloom Meeting HG from the 2020 weenies. 🧟♀️ -------- Ok, edit again! because this thing has made me the dingus! I don't have a beard (crowd gasps). Normally I test inside the elbow to get the truest expression of a scent, but that's always been with perfume. Whoops! Testing literally anywhere else seems to have brought all the rest of the notes to the yard. Totally different now! wow, wow wow! Garg Take Two: Yes, hello oakmoss right out of the gate, but it is now more moss than oak.The oak is almost transparent now, sanded down to a flat wafer and gently waxed. Crisp parchment paper, manicured lawns and dappled moss patches cold and wet under tree shade, brushed tweed, air-dried linen. Perfectly melded with the snootiest wax in town. White beeswax candle, handmade but perfectly shaped with the exact right amount of bloom, with none of the raw honeycomb or chewy clods suggesting its original biology. It's sold out of a downtown artisan market and totally out of your price range. Hygge (TM). But you're getting it anyway. It's handmade! It is affluent, but not pretentious. It is a perfectly genderless, gently perfumed cocoon of mid-to-late-90s androgyny -- CK One commercials, the waft floating across the fountains outside luxury department stores at the Nice Mall. Tilda Swinton's Gabriel smells like this. An approachable kind of holy. Stone-cold sophistication, yes believe it. Easy like a nap on Sunday morning. I'm standing by the Gloom Meeting cousin thing, but this is skewing much less sweet than she did, and I deeply prefer this expression of the lab's oakmoss -- which feels new to me. IT'S ALSO LESS SHOUTY. Edited April 4 by supreme_c0rt Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
