Wet: What the hell is that? Yes yes, apt word. Seriously, I can't tell. It smells.. interesting. A bit smokey. About ten minutes later: *Blush.* Wow. Later drydown: Not quite so heavily sex inducing, but still mildly so, and very nice. A little leather, a little musk, and I'm not certain what else.. but ooo, very good. Very faintly smokey. Verdict: I so need a bottle of this. And I need to remember NOT to put it on to wear to family gatherings or to work! Erm, and I'm a girl. And I like it on me anyway! So there!

Wet: Hrm. Yep, papery bible accord with bits of musk.. almost if you sat out all day trying to read in the woods in England. Damp book, trees.. but ONLY damp, mind you, not mildewed. Drydown: I'm having a hard time describing this one. It has an ethereal airy quality to it. There's still a bit of the paper and wood to it, but it's a dry wood despite the slight tone of mist. It's a polite scent, and doesn't have a heavy throw range. I'd wear this in professional settings. Verdict: At first I thought, "I like it and might keep it, but do not need to pick up more than this imp." However, I've found that I'm wearing this much more than I thought I would. Bottle! As for comparisons to Aureus.. I find this to be a similar scent, but it is much, much lighter. (~_~ no puns!)
