Troll

[PumpkinGuts]

The cumin and basil were overly aggressive at first, but I stuck with it, and I'm glad I did. There may be some troll DNA in my Scandinavian genetic makeup, because this troll musk is sexy as hell. I'm getting a mixture of musk, vetiver, pine pitch, and light spices that I just want to rub my face in. Woodsy, musky, feral. I agree with the previous reviewer that Troll is not a green scent.

This starts out harsh on me, thick scratchy greeness and smoke. But as it dries the pine becomes a pleasant base for the scent, with smoke and clove being the second most dominant notes, followed by basil, vetiver, and cumin. It still a dark, aggressive herbal sort of scent, but more pleasant than at first.

Wet: too much basil and eau de rotting wildlife carcasses. 

 

On skin: Oh, hey, some pine to go with the smell of decaying forest fauna and funga! Almost anxiety inducing in it's pungency.

 

On drydown: Something more floral emerges. The musk remains present and foreboding. 

 

I find myself wondering if this is what a woods dwelling, revenge oriented former mathematician would smell like as he plotted his dastardly deeds against society.
