Snowman Beatdown

A jolly Christmas for some. For others? Not so much. Frosted sage, icy green and menacing.

Intrigued.  Color me Intrigued.

This one is a magical room scent and also wearable for me.   It is not icy cold like Nuclear Winter.  It is a sweet evergreen with a hint of snow for me.  Wintery and cold, but hopeful.  A happy little scent.

SPECIMEN CLASSIFICATION: CRYSTALLUS SINGULARIS 

Observed December 21st, 1927, Miskatonic Valley Professor Elias Wentworth, Department of Crystallography

 

Upon first observation, the specimen presented geometries of such singular and cyclopean complexity as to defy conventional Euclidean classification. The primary hexagonal structure, while superficially conforming to known ice crystal morphology, revealed upon closer examination a fractal recursion of nameless intricacy, each branching arm subdividing into ever-smaller iterations of impossible precision. The coloration proved equally anomalous: not the expected translucent white, but rather a frosted sage of spectral luminescence, shot through with veins of glacial verdure and gelid chlorophyll that seemed to shift and multiply when viewed through the kaleidoscopic lens. The effect was not unlike peering into dimensions of space hitherto unknown to mortal science—angles that should not exist, proportions that violated natural law, yet arranged with such terrible beauty as to inspire equal measures of awe and incomprehension. Most disturbing: the specimen exhibits a menacing quality I cannot adequately describe. Fresh. Chilly. Herbal citrus notes emanating from its crystalline surface.

[ARCHIVAL NOTE: The above entry represents Professor Wentworth's final coherent observation. He was discovered three hours later in his laboratory, having etched hexagonal patterns into the laboratory walls, floors, and his own flesh. He remains under care at Arkham Sanitarium, where he continues to mutter about "the geometry" and refuses to look at snow. The specimen in question melted without incident. —Dr. H. Armitage, University Librarian, 1928]

Snowman Beatdown smells like a cool cologne on me. I'm getting a minty (or something mint-adjacent) ice note, and I think some ozonic snow and sage that are all combining to remind me of cologne. I slathered this on my partner and tested it on myself, and it smelled the same on both of us. Great throw and longevity.

 

I'll be keeping my decant around to slather on my partner, but this isn't something I could personally see myself reaching for over other icy scents.

All frosty aldehydes—the kind used in sport colognes like Polo Sport, and more recently and intensely in CdG’s Odeur 10–and a little bit of sprightly sage. Great staying power and moderate throw, an easy breezy chilly scent. Yes, it goes cologne-y. That is part of the charm here! If you are looking for a cold, soapy, (now) classic masculine profile, with a little cheery herbal twist, this is definitely for you. It is very simple and enjoyable. With simple scents like this it’s hard for me to know whether I will continue to simply enjoy them or get bored—time will tell!
