marared Report post Posted Monday at 02:02 PM This was a little punchy on arrival and I had to let it settle down for a couple days before I could review it. In the bottle: very dry lavender. First on the skin: very intense dry lavender, with piñon wood behind it. After a few minutes, the wood comes to the forefront. The two notes battle it out for dominance - every few minutes they swap, and it goes on like this for 10-15 minutes until they finally decide to play nice together. Piñon is a southwestern pine tree with edible nuts. There's a wonderful incense of it that you can buy from shops in New Mexico, California, etc, and it has a campfire quality to it, with a hint of burnt sugar sap - I don't smell any of that that slight sweetness here. It settles into bone-dry lavender incense. There's enough throw that I can smell it when my hands move at normal working distance from my face. I don't find it "relaxing" in that I wouldn't wear this to bed the way I do other lavender blends, it's just a bit too strong and distracting. It's very pretty, though, after it's had a chance to settle on the skin. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
