zankoku_zen Report post Posted February 9, 2021 Okay, this 13 also smells magical, but unlike the 13 September 2019 which smelled like the 13 version of Florida Water, this smells more like 13 stopped by a hoodoo shop, went on an apprenticeship, and basically just blessed your life with a whole bunch of spices. I smell patchouli, hazelnut, carnation, cedar, and a whiff of allspice. UGH this is so good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
groovyrooby Report post Posted February 12, 2021 LOVE this. It hits so many of my sweet spots: cocoa, vetiver, patchouli, hazelnut. Lord, how I love that hazelnut. And the allspice and nutmeg suggest cinnamon, which I love, but without the itchy burn that usually makes it a sad no-go for me. It's dry and sweet, the loveliest combination of all those wonderful notes, delicious without being foodie. It reminds me of No Man Is An Island, which I adore. It's one of those that, once I sniffed it I couldn't stop thinking about, that nagging idea in the back of your mind of the one you let get away, until I finally tracked down a full bottle. Now I can sleep at night. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
