katharina Report post Posted August 3, 2021 For me, one of the strongest notes is the balsam. I live in Humboldt County, CA and we are very well known for one of our, um, crops that the balsam bears a strong resemblance to, scent wise. 😁 Bottle: Not much smell at all--dry and dusty, and sorta not there. Wet: Holy Cannabis, I mean Balsam, Batman! It smells like I walked into a cannabis grower's home where lot's of vanilla incense is burned. The haze could be overwhelming, but it's not. You can get a faint whiff of the dust that's in the air and surrounding the old philosophy books on the shelf. It's a cozy vibe. No leather. Dry: The scent that evoked cannabis has softened down, making this an herbaceous vanilla. Still no leather. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LavenderCoffee Report post Posted January 28, 2022 Agree that in the bottle there doesn't seem to be much there - maybe ancient dust? Applied to my skin, I start to get some vaguely sweet powder. This is basically my entire experience of Ü. No leather, nothing recognizably vanillic. I think cannabis would be an improvement! Even a couple hours later, it's just powder. I've only had it for a month now, so it's possible it could improve with age. When I first tried it on it was screamingly loud sweet powder, and at least now it's more subtle. I might not be able to wear it on my skin. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MamaMoth Report post Posted September 22, 2022 is my nose broken? so weird, i don't get anything remotely grassy or green. what i do get is soft comfy leather, dry dusty vanilla, and a kind of wood-pulp-papery note. dusty, leathery, vanillic, surprisingly sweet, a little musty in a dry way. as my skin chemistry takes over, the vanilla shuffles to the front of the pack. no complaints here, because i LOVE this.
