The Moonjim (Pickman Gallery Prototype)

[zankoku_zen]

The Moonjim was a prototype from Pickman Gallery, that was available to sniff during Willcall back in 2011.

 

So on wet, the most prominent note to me is like a mandarin zest/satsuma note. It smells orangey, citrusy, and with a slight 'Pez' feel. As it dries, I get more of a sugared candy/sugared violet note that combines in. It dries down to a sugary/candy with what I do believe is violet, and a touch of something 'fresh'.

 

In my mind, this sort of reminds me to Candy Phoenix, and Faith because of the sugared violets component. It also feels vibe-wise to the Ta-ta which I think was the Pickman with the roasted marshmallow note in it.

 

Previous will call reviews noted either bergamot or grape, neither of which I really get.

 

I'm surprised at how much I like this blend given that I'm not into candy blends, and definitely not a fan of sugared violets. I really hope something similar gets released at some point.
