a very bliss-y chocolate note pervades this from the start but with an added gritty texture to it. it reads as one of those homemade chocolate truffles rolled in cocoa powder. if it had weed smoke wafting around the general vicinity of it. its a very dark weed smoke on me, unskunk-y. almost reminds me of the opening note in isle of demons. it quickly fades on me within an hour and leaves a touch of green and the same scent as cocoa butter freshly, but well rubbed into skin.

i would say quintessence of dust from the OLLAs. beeswax and smoke, yellowed paper and well-worn leather books, droplets of spilled ink, faded incense, blood-tinged salty tears, and the metal of the knife that skewers that illiterate zombie philistine’s portrait. its the most photo realistic book smell to my nose, in my experience. with a beeswax candle in the corner a tinge of metal. i feel its one of the most cut and clear 'dark academia'-ish bpal scent

sniffing the bottle: bugspray wet on skin: very strong and astringent. clearly hairdye like a freshly cracked open tub of manic panic dry down: after a couple minutes the benzoin rises up bringing along with it a note thats not so much free floating in the air cigarette smoke but the sweet stench that sinks into clothes. when i stick my nose to my arm a consistent foresty underlayer resides like the morning after heavy rain i was genuinely a bit terrorized at the prospect of trying this since i bought it on a whim and very chemical scents tend to be horrendous on my skin but i love it!! very nostalgic. reminds me of skipping class w friends for nicotine powered nature walks in the woods by our highschool
