Little Bird Report post Posted May 26, 2024 The black sesame and clove are so savory and strong, like I've made beef dumplings and a spicy black vinegar and soy sauce mix and then smashed and poured them on to my skin. It also kind of smells like bitter, dark coffee beans in the drydown and turns rather sour to my nose. I think the green silk is the high pitched, soapy note that I'm getting. Then there's a little bit of woody smokiness from the sandalwood and agarwood. I had really high hopes for this and it just smells so strange and unpleasant to me. It doesn't make me think of books... more like bitter, black coffee, burning wood, soapy and starchy fabric, and seasoned meat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trinitysite Report post Posted November 22, 2024 This is the scent that made me realize I do not like the leather note at all. On application, leather is quite prominent, along with something else - is that black sesame? I think I got an "old books" vibe about half an hour later, and thank goodness here's some clove. It seems to have faded about two hours later, and I'm not at all sad. This one is interesting but not in a good way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Roogna Report post Posted January 20 BLACK SESAME! wow. that is STRONG. heavy-handed, even maybe some clove? almost has a sour note underneath no leather just a whooooooole bunch of sesame for hours. practically a single note I tested a tiny bit on my wrist, but it goes a long way Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
