Rane.

Have an imp of this. A lovely tropical floral, but a subdued one that isn't too much. The muguet has a slight chewiness to it that I love, while the tropical blooms make a watery smell.

Have an imp of this. Smells like an expensive aftershave, but a gentle one. Clean bergamot, resinous opoponax, with the airy quality of hay. I'd wear this to make a first impression.

Have an imp of this. It's very deep, masculine, & leathery with the waxy resinous smell of opoponax. The amber & tobacco are the final notes to come out on me.

Have an imp of this. A simple clean tea & lemon smell. The aloe adds some soothing sweetness to it all.

Have an imp of this. It is very watery, green with florals floating on top so gently. Close to Zombi in it's greeny leafy goodness. I get impressions of drifting on a raft down a lush swamp.

Received as a swap. Smells like an evil spiked car. Or a sweet but tough scent. Really enjoy it! All I get is berries & leather. My son keeps sniffing me. Lol

Received as a decant. Wow! It's an explosion, like the title suggests. Very strong, femme, & exudes power. I'm mostly getting dragon's blood right now, but when I first put it on I smelled the earth note, patchouli, & oud. I'm smelling ginger & pink peppercorn as the last faint notes leftover.

Glad to have received a decant of this. It's really interesting. Very smokey, but the rest of the choir plays out slowly. The fruits, clove, tobacco, & opium is a dynamic combination. This scent smells like what I imagine an old veil would smell like.

Received as a decant in an imp. Very grateful! The earthy note smells like dank patchouli, but the other notes are on top. I really enjoy how the earth note keeps popping up out of the copal, myrrh, flowers. I'll have to seek out a bottle now. Lol

Received as a swap. Smells so good! The hay & almond are a bomb combo. Super fragrant. The cream & toasted sandalwood with the almond give this a candy smell too. & the mimosa is in there singing shyly, but wow. I get faint hints of Coyote & La Petite Mort. The creaminess is creating the skin musk note. Has incredible throw & length. This bottle is one of the top 3 Shungas I absolutely would buy/swap for again & again if I came across it.

Bought back in 2019. I could have sworn fig was in this one. The jasmine absolute & snow magnolia gives it a sweet, slippery, wet impression. Though it is a floral, I really couldn't tell! The Terebinth resin gives it a nice clean, air quality. I've made body lotion out of this one before. Would highly suggest!

Received as an imp. Bright, fruity & citrus, sweet, faint woods. Mouth watering. I need a full bottle!

The first imp I received was in 2018. I thought it smelled like off or burnt baked cookies. I received another imp recently with an order, & this smells herbal, & bright. I want to say there is lemongrass or lemon verbena in this. Something is lighting this up.

Received as an imp. I love how this smells like rained on dirt in the imp & upon application. When it dries out tho it becomes a light, yet fragrant floral. Total switch. Like from soil, to seed, to bloom. Has a chewiness to it too. Would buy a bottle.

Received as an imp. I don't have much to say about this, except it's definitely a manly scent. I'm picking up on the honey & wood. The bay rum is very gentle in this.

Received as an imp years ago. The oil is black almost. Thick, syrupy. Deep, deep smell. Musky, resinous, mysterious, with a bit of bright relief drizzled on there from the bergamot. I am left with an incense smell. Would definitely buy a bottle.

Received as an imp. So much in this going on I cannot pin out a single note. But I get masculine, I get the frankincense & possibly oakmoss. Will need to buy a bottle to study more. 💕

Received as an imp. Sweet violet with some grounded earthy patchouli, the cleanliness of Spanish moss, & fruity with red currant. I need a bottle of this.

Received as an imp. A hint tart. I smell the rummy cassis & prune, but the ginger stands out most. Interesting, slightly nose tickling smell.

2019 edition. Sugary, sweet coconut with a deep musky skin-like fragrance from the ambergris accord, deepened more by ambrette seed. The champaca blends so well I can barely pick it out, but it is there being shy. This scent is sensuality, warm skin, like a perfume I'd smell on someone from a forgotten era.

Another lovely I forgot to review! Had since 2018. It has a gritty texture to the oil when I put it on. One hit & POW! Cypress & birch, engulfed in musk & a hint of black tobacco to hold it all together. The tobacco is faint, but a nice note to get at the end of every sniff. Overall, it is a tree smell. Like way up high in the fragrant trees with branches brushing against my skin. The picture is fitting too for this scent.

Received as an imp. Smells fancy. I don't want to stop inhaling when I sniff it. I get the strawberries & cherries intermingling with the vanilla & musk. The heliotrope is faint, but a star in this show. This is a knock-out. Sexy, seductive, slightly fruity, mysterious vanilla & musk. Yum.

Received as an imp. Out of the bottle, & on skin, it is a strong floral, & all the notes sing in harmony together. I don't get any shifting. I would have sworn it has some fruit in it. It's a bright & Springtime scent. Feeling femme when I sniff this.

Received as an imp. A lovely fruity & earthy scent. It is mature, flush, close to the skin, & there is also something about it I can't put into words. The amber & patchouli deepens everything in this, while the peach & musk is playful. I'm not a peach fan, but I'd buy a bottle!

Obtained this bottle in 2018, one of the many in my first purchase. It's a simple, yet complicated smell. The juniper & musk swirls so well with pine. After it dries it's powdery with a hint of pine. Wasn't too sure how I would react to juniper but combined with pine & musk it makes for a dank forest scent that I think men would love.
