This is lovely violet on my skin, which lasts for hours. It was actually my first FB order from the Lab, in October, as I was looking for a violet fragrance. I don’t get any rose out of this, which I was looking forward to, but it’s still quite beautiful. It's a single note violet on me. A word of warning to those who dislike powder, violet is one of those florals which drys into powder; however, it’s quite luxurious and not a baby powder type.

A scent celebrating Sir Francis Dashwood's Order of the Knights of St. Francis of Wycombe, also known as the Hellfire Club. A swirl of pipe tobacco, hot leather, ambergris, dark musk and the lingering incense smoke from their Black Mass. In the imp: I can smell a composition of the described notes. Wet on skin: Upon application, I am only picking up incense, powder and a slight tinge of the ambergris. Drydown: Incense and powder. I wish I could get the leather and tobacco out of this. I did try layering it with Highwayman and that achieved the leather I was looking for. Despite this being entirely different on my skin, I did order a FB as the incense and powder are quite lovely. It's very long lasting on my skin.
