Wolf Moon: Snow & Oak Bark

Snow & Oak Bark.

[SmellsPrettyGood2Me]

This is a minty, mentholated snow in the bottle, cold, tingly and fresh. The oak bark has what seems like a touch of humidity to it, perhaps with some lichen growing on the surface that has been lightly covered by a dollop of freshly fallen white powder. 

 

On skin, the menthol snow REALLY kicks up in a pseudo-medicinal fashion. I feel like I can taste it in the back of my throat as I bring my nose up to my hand, and there is a bit of physical warming on my skin as it dries down as well. I spend the next 30 minutes patiently waiting for the scent to settle; it is bracingly atmospheric. The bark has a wet, heavy, almost dirty quality to it. As dry down is happening I feel like I get the smallest whiff of dried wildflowers and anise sweetening things up from underneath it all. Moderate projection that lasts around 6 hours total. 

 

It's not bad, but I don't want to smell like the first hour of this as a pre-requisite to enjoying the next 5 hours of it. A more patient soul than mine would likely delight in it.

I, too, get mentholated snow from this, along with the oak, which isn't as sharp as it sometimes tends to be in other blends, but certainly isn't smoothed over by this sort of snow. This cold, mentholic, dry scent.

 

I was really hoping for a sweet snow note in this one. Alas.
