theredkilt Report post Posted July 11, 2015 A crown of hardened ice and polished fir-cones. Wet in the vial it smells sour, sharp and pine. I can detect under it all the snow note. Sharp pine and snow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Veronica Report post Posted August 7, 2015 Icy and cold--almost an effervescent, bubbly scent when combined with the dark green of the pine and fir. Cold and pretty. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
t_for_tau Report post Posted June 23, 2016 Just beautiful. Bpal's ice & snow notes are normally ozoney death on me, but here there's nary a hint of dryer sheets, just a cold clarity overlying the pine, and something a bit warmer, creamier and woodier (the cones?) that reminds me of some of the oak/bark/etc notes. I've been trying to find a pine or fir bpal that works on me since 2006, and I've FINALLY found a winner. Perfect. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Casablanca Report post Posted July 22, 2016 I'm expecting something clean from this description, but Old Goblin goes on my skin as a hard ice smell made filthy by patchouli and maybe vetiver. There's a touch of frosty fir at first, but it fades faster than the smile on a face after bad news. Pass. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kay Torres Report post Posted August 25, 2016 Dirty, musty, evergreen trees with pool cleaning chemicals and something grossly sweet. Instant headache and nausea. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
roseus Report post Posted September 2, 2016 Interesting! I was expecting something bracing and mentholated. The snow note smells cold in a really subtle way. I also get a lot of vetiver, but not much fir. Not what I expected at all! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Convallaria Report post Posted September 13, 2016 Not much snow on me - just aggressive, potent woods. It's almost like Lab's pungent leather note - I thought I was testing one for a few moments before I remembered what I placed on the wrist. Probably thanks to vetiver. I find a lot of "masculines" unisex on me, but not this one. Being devoid of quirkiness, it's a good pick for a Lab newbie who's into really butch stuff, but not for me.

doomsday_disco Report post Posted November 14, 2017 In the imp: Very ozonic and 'soapy' to my nose, with more fir than in the aged imp. Wet: This is a very citrus-y, ozonic, slushy snow note. The ozone ends up taking over, and it smells rather soapy on me. Dry: The ozone ends up calming down, but it still reads as soapy on me. Sadly, I'm not getting any fir or anything that reminds me of pinecones. Verdict: My skin chemistry just doesn't cooperate with this one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cali Report post Posted June 9, 2018 Eehhhhh. Is there vetiver in here? Oppoponax? This is thick and droopy. Not getting much pine or fir ironically, just a hint. Not getting much floral or citrus here. The "nasty" notes dissapear within a few minutes, and it does dry down to something more ozone-y. Still thick and droopy, but not as evil this time around. No snow here! Just a troll-ridden bog. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
