Dead Leaves, Patchouli, and Red Musk

Recommended Posts

This scent did not make my first round of Weenie orders as I am still trying to mentally reconcile how the dead leaves note transitions from stinky to sweet as it dries on skin. After a few other trepidatious sniffing and testing experiences with it that turned out pretty well in the end, I picked this up in my second round because I really do love a good red musk and patchouli combo. 

 

In the bottle, I was surprised to note that, to me, this smells like 75% red musk, 15% dead leaves and 10% dirty patchouli. Applied to skin, the dead leaves and red musk invert in influence for the first 15 minutes until the leaves slowly start to soften. At that point, the red musk starts to smell almost shiny, in contrast to the emerging earthiness of the patchouli. I am definitely getting a whiff of cinnamon in here around minute 30. By the one hour mark the dead leaves note has finished it's transition to sweet decay and I am left with a raging red musk / patchouli duel for the next TEN HOURS where the red musk ultimately claims victory. I could still smell this on my hand the next morning and it continued to linger even after taking a shower! Please approach the amount you apply with deliberate caution. 

 

The best word I can use to describe this scent is feral. It's a high amperage, bold concoction that calls to mind old bloodlusts and familial battles playing out in an autumn forest. As such it feels exceptionally well suited to LARPing, ren faires and cosplay experiences.
