jizatt Report post Posted January 1, 2011 I had to look it up since I havent tried it, and here are some notes and descriptions (mainly from me, but maybe they will come in handy for someone else too) notes: basil blossom, heather, fir needle, sweet pea, fig, cut grass, cedar, oak, redwood, myrrh, labdanum, oakmoss, and vetiver. The reviews of this fragrance are earthy, sparkling green, grassy, slightly wet/snow, woody, woodsy My recommendations to try out: Nocnitsa - this one may be your best bet -- a lightless fir wood, nighttime air, wet forest mosses and upturned earth. Niflheim - not floral to my nose, despite the desc - Dark, damp blossoms winding through an impenetrable, murky gloom. Ulalume - leaves, wet, earthy, not so much on the woods or fir though Black Forest - great foresty, not so much on the earthy though Wolf Moon 04 - green woodsy, lighter, more slushy snow -- not so much on wood though Wolf Moon 07 - very green woodsy - not so much on wood though Nephilim - Holy frankincense and hyssop in union with earthy fig, defiled by black patchouli and vetiver, with a chaotic infusion of lavender, cardamom, tamarind, rosemary, oakmoss and cypress.

The rest you should be able to get samples of from the lab, or bottles if you're brave And I agree, Nocnitsa sounds like it might be perfect =) Share this post Link to post

Worth noting: Wolf Moon 2011 was just a couple of weeks ago, so bottles should be appearing in the swaps/sales sections soon from people it didn't work out on. Share this post Link to post
