Minh Scent Report post Posted May 3, 2018 The Depths of Despair White chypre, French lavender, rose geranium, opopponax, Peru balsam, bois de rose, lime, and vanilla absolute. This smells like a masculine cologne with an extra dash of lavender. I keep thinking I am smelling oakmoss, which may well be a component of the chypre. There is a splash of lime which adds some sharpness. I do get a suggestion of rose geranium now and again, but it is barely a tease. Quite long lasting. I am enjoying huffing my braid immensely, but also going a bit mad trying to place where I smelled this before. It could very well be from a perfume counter, as this does smell like a traditional male aftershave to me. Mmmmm! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zankoku_zen Report post Posted May 9, 2018 I get mainly pink rose, rose geranium and a hint of lavender. It's a soft rosey-chypre type blend. I loved the L'Essence Du Chagrin bath oil version mainly because it was a lavender chypre. This is more of a rose chypre. Medium throw and wear length.
