Jenjin Report post Posted September 16 (edited) 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. Edited September 16 by Jenjin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
marared Report post Posted Sunday at 03:02 PM 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
