Alaeidrel Report post Posted July 31, 2016 A playful, soft brown musk with balsam leather, wild juniper, lavender, and sweet sage. This is not what I expected, but it's beautiful. I put it on right out of the mail so it may develop even more as it settles. Immediately after putting it on, I started wondering which of our current houseguests had used a scented lotion that I had touched. It took a moment to realize it was wafting off my wrist! I'm getting something oddly floral but snuggly from Jojo, wafting as I move. I think it's the sage, this gorgeous heady high note that codes as floral but without the headache I get from flowers. When I sniff closer to my wrist I get musk and juniper, a little bit on the aquatic side, and only hints of leather. I can't wait to try this again after it rests. It's gorgeous and strange already.

zankoku_zen Report post Posted August 15, 2016 Jojo was softer and cuddlier than I expected. Brown musk, touch of lavender, touch of juniper. The lavender adds this cuddly aspect to the brown musk. And there's a bit of sage that makes it a little more gender neutral. Soft throw, good wear length. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LizziesLuck Report post Posted November 30, 2016 This is much sweeter and has much more lavender than I expected! (Thank you to the thoughtful friend who gave me a tester of this! <3 ) Unfortunately, the juniper turns this really soapy on me, otherwise it would be lovely lavender and musk.

Little Bird Report post Posted December 15, 2016 I expected a lot of musk and leather, but I can barely pick out those notes. I get lots of creamy, sweet, lavender scented soap and hints of dry, herbal sage and juniper's damp evergreen smell. It smells like a spa fragrance. I get a bit of powdery brown musk in the drydown, but it's still mostly lavender. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slo Report post Posted February 20, 2019 (edited) I got this based on the reviews that the leather isn't very strong because all the other notes sounded so lovely to me, but I do not do well with leather. And I'm happy to report I get maaybe 2 seconds of super soft leather max Soo if you're looking for a leather blend this definitely isn't it, but if you're looking for a clean cuddly spa scent this is definitely it! Wet/in bottle: this is way sweeter and more perfumey than I expected - it almost has a floral aspect. Based on this impression alone it was headed to the destash pile ... On skin: fresh and cuddly all at the same time - it really is like a spa fragrance in that it smells clean and relaxing, but for me it's the elusive daytime lavender. I'm a lavender fiend but only have one or two other lavenders that I enjoy wearing during the day. It's not a sharp lavender/it has a little sweetness (maybe from the sage?) but it's really not a super sweet blend anymore. I think the sage keeps it fresh and the musk keeps it warm - it's an interesting concept, but it works! Drydown: it's aaaalmost soapy, but in a way I like - like a high end soap rather than irish spring. Low throw, so its like clean, straight from the spa skin - great for work. I don't think to wear this one cuz much the smell from the bottle is a bit off-putting, but I have to remember what it's like on skin !

Roogna Report post Posted March 27, 2020 I"m sad I don't get more musk or leather. I'm sure those notes would have worked well with the others. I definitely get "soapy" as a general smell. If I sniff closer I get a juicy sweet note -- almost lime?? And sage. It's a very low throw too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
