Smoke and cinders floating thickly in a soup of orris and blackened sandalwood.

Leaden Fog somehow manages to be both smoky and clean on my skin, with the sandalwood becoming more prominent as it dries down. It's a fascinating blend and I'm liking it quite a bit. My chemistry often tends to sweeten things up, but this one stays pretty gender-neutral on me.

This is definitely clean and yet smokey as @coulrophobe has said.

 

Very pleasant. I can't really smell it in the bottle and it smells like a very subtle skin-musk on my skin at first. 

 

After about an hour, it gets a little stronger. It definitely expresses how sandalwood can be clean and yet smokey. On me, it's a very faint smell and I look forward to trying it again when it has aged. 

 

Note: I have a weaker sense of smell than the average person so this is worth mentioning.

Leaden Fog is mostly orris on me---a thick, slathered orris, almost orris butter. It's little powdery, but more cottony and clean. 

 

Drydown brings out a bit of parched, bone-dry sandalwood. Looking back at the notes, I realize that what I'm reading as super-dry, almost scorched-dry, is the blackened quality. 

 

But mostly... for me, this is orris, more orris, and some orris butter.

i get a whiff of black smoke (not an incense smoke) and cinders over a cool almost aquatic note-i guess this is a more 'carroty' orris than powdery one. later the smoke dies down and i get more sandalwood-at this point it's a cool orris with sandalwood and a bit of smoke. this is a really interesting perfume, and is not my usual type of scent, though it's a mix of things i tend to like separately/with other notes.

This smells oily and mechanic. Smoky, oily, mechanic. Medium throw and wear length.

 

It's a lighter, airier, slightly reminiscent of Wasteland World. If you wanted to try that event exclusive, give this puppy a whirl.

In the Decant:  Soap?

 

Wet: A little soapy, a little floral, a little charred.

 

Dry: This is a skin scent for me. It's a clean scent with just a streak of cinders. Very nice! Not really a bottle upgrade, but I will enjoy my decant.
