The cost of protection proved to be more than any one person could pay. 


Smoky vetiver, flaming sparks of black pepper, clove, and nutmeg, charred wood, and dark amber.

I got this a week ago and it was so powerful in the bottle I couldn't even try it on, I had to put it in a drawer to calm down a little. It's still pretty loud even now. Many of the Dead Leaves scents mention a bell pepper scent, which I had never personally smelled. This is not a Dead Leaves scent, but sniffing the bottle, it's almost all bell pepper. Once I convinced my nose to get past that impression, I mostly smell the black pepper and charred wood, and just a little bit of the vetiver and amber.

 

On my skin, it changes dramatically. The wood is now at the forefront and no bell pepper, but it's a little weird. Peppery wood, but there's still a slightly vegetal zing to it and I don't like that. I let it sit for about ten minutes and that vegetal zing has faded, thankfully, and it has now morphed into smoky, scorched vetiver with an undercurrent of wood and amber. I have not been able to pick out the clove and nutmeg at all, the vetiver, pepper, and wood are so strong that they're just overwhelmed.

 

This is not a gentle scent at all. The throw is not quite as intense as it was in the bottle when I first got it, but people are gonna smell you coming.
