Um…i i think this is a holy grail for me. So far this isn’t what i was expecting but it’s so much better. It’s this really red and iridescent deep green of a smell with a deep alluring earthiness. It’s a little incensey but it’s cozy. Like you’re just chillin out in the ground for 17 years😆 I definitely love this. The hazelnut worried me but interested me. It definitely adds to the coziness factor. I think the scorched amber is what really gives me that red berry quality i think i’m picking up on. It has this smokey green thing going on as well. There’s a witchy vibe to it as well like a basket full of foraged ingredients ready to be dropped into the cauldron. Ok there may be a seductive quality to this fragrance. I assume the cicada sentiment “scream fuck die” when i do smell it it does bring a cicada to mind or that could just be me making an association based on the namesake/concept. Who knows haha hours after wear it’s a touch powdery but leafs like an after scent that is still true but has more of a floral skin note💞

i just wanna say. I’m so glad i got this last year. It’s a holy grail for me. 4th full sized bottle i ever bought. It’s definitely cozy and cool

what an honor to be the first hehe Straight from the mail/warm bottle... I’m confused, intrigued, perplexed. It’s first a fluorescent green sludge. I believe that’s the bamboo, wasabi, tulsi (basil), and wet green musk. There’s an aquatic almost headiness to it. It’s been a few hours later and that’s stepped aside where i can smell the pine and patchouli and now i can pull apart the minty almost anise basil. It’s definitely more pleasant than before hehe. It’s called down on my skin and it’s still refreshing but more clean than when i got my 1st whiff. It has a cool and comforting feel to it it’s very fresh and clean after its settled down for a month. Very smooth but with that initial burst of pond scum haha. Truly a lovely fragrance 🐸💚

wow i was expecting to find thoughts on the fragrance. I honestly don’t know how i feel about this one. It’s kind a ride of emotions. From underwhelmed to this is definitely a grower and i love it: This will age nicely I believe and definitely comes through when warmed up in the hands. Revelation: It’s grassy. like in a field of hay kind of way but I wouldn’t call it hay like a khus kind of way😂 In the bottle: some peppery and nutty chocolate with what reminds me of sunflower (khus aka vetiver) Wet on the skin: super nutty on me with all those notes coming through. The pepper does start to melt into the vetiver Dry: same fragrance but mellows out into a very moody sweet earthy chocolate I believe I like this but definitely not my first pick when i’m in the mood for cacao pods 2021. In order of favorites it’s cacao, copal & palo santo (1st) followed by cacao, sandalwood, clove & hemp (2nd) then 3rd of course being yours truly whom this review is for.
