Wow!!! This is a strong, strong oudh note. There's definately a ..........moist-y sex thing in there and I don't think it's the bourbon vanilla - that's barely there for me. Strange, it's almost salty on me.
-
Harsh clove, the red sandalwood and benzoin fighting for their place among that. This is an aggressive love on me.
-
My skin has eaten the peack at the point of drydown. Too bad, cause it gave this a neccesary depth for me. Now it's just sweet amber. Nope!
-
Getting a good mix of all of the notes, i can pick them out independently but they work together very well too. It's a somewhat darker scent (like a veeeeeeery soft/deluded version of reptoid dominion), but it's more of a hippy-shop dark on me than 'evil' or nighttime-y. It's an embrace of a very nice-smelling person you trust.
-
Agree with the stated above, nutty but not in foodie territory. There's a warmth, something cozy and spicy. Powdery patchouli amps up for me on drydown, and the afformentioned notes fall into the background.
-
Dark and broody, also has something ... muddy in there. Though it's a bit random-lemon-axe deodorant spray on me so i need to go wash this off.
-
Very, very strong clove and almond. Wish the rum was more apparent in this or it would have been a keeper. Definately delicious!
-
Very faint fig and something... mechanical? Not for me.
-
Dark and thick. Opoponax tends to amp on me, and it does here, though it's not distracting or painfully strong like black moths was for me. It's herbal and the rose adds a welcome warmth to this.
-
Oooo... In the last years i've learned that i love pecan in nice smelly stuff, and this is no exception. Spicy pecan delicousness!!! 🤤
-
Minty pine forest by the creek? It's light, it's fun, just sweet enough and lightly green with some dark green undertones. Pretty.
-
A soft (as in, fur) vaguely reminiscent of the bear prince, a sweet soft myrrh and sugary anise, and a far away smoke note.
-
Happy to try an imp from this, but going into it i know i'm not a fan of salted caramel. And that IS what this smells like. It is however not super in your face, and it's a touch soapy. Pleasant!
-
Reminds me vaguely of the soldier from what i remember, but it's a far softer and less sharper/peppery-er leather. The tobacco just works as a soft little bed for the rest of the notes to lie on, the hazelnut and coffee add a delicious dimention to this, enveloping the spices... It reminds me of a hearty snack with some honey dribbled over it. Hmm.
-
A soft, balsamy honeyed spice.
-
It's a very well aged, strong scent in the bottle, and it dries down to what i imagine the damp, mossy forest floor would smell like after a spring rain. Lovely.
-
Old persons home that has one of those active air fresheners. *shudders*
-
I get a loooot of leather from this, mostly. The other notes compliment it very well, it's a sweet, but very fresh scent. Not for me (just made me sneeze, even), but i know somebody else will LOVE this.
-
Another your-skin-but-better. Light scent of a juicy shimmery pear. Hmmm.
-
Dissapears besides leaving a trace of pink pepper. 😞
-
In the bottle this vaguely reminds me of wilf, but a darker, less sweet and dirtier version. On drydown i'm really getting the notes exactly. Very interesting, very pretty scent. It's slightly "peppery" but strong on the oudh, and it's turned spicy and sweet, but nothing too crazy. It's ethereal.
-
Agree with the herbal liquorice notes. It's far more soft and sugary than actual absinthe i've had though, and no anise (though the sugar could "reference" that, i guess, but this is more of a brown sugar than an anise sugar if that makes any sense to anyone but me). Actually very enjoyable!

Man, my skin is just eating everything now, seemingly and it saddens me - this is a deep blue scent with some florals and myrrh in the background. Barely noticable on me. -
i'm a sucker for the pumpkin patches anyway, but it seems adding snake oil to that for me is a winner, sexy, tart- and spicy pumpkiny sweetness!
