zankoku_zen Report post Posted October 12, 2018 [No additional description provided.] Strong clean patchouli with cedar notes. I get a whiff of something powdery. There is something turbulent hiding underneath. Good throw and wear length. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bheansidhe Report post Posted September 13 An unreleased American Gods blend (AG IV). Patchouli and ink/paper notes, plus maybe rosewater from greasepaint? Perhaps some stale tobacco or pipe smoke? The longer it's on, the more certain I am it's patchouli that's blackened and sharpened by something like ink or labdanum, plus a hint of something cold, like stone or old smoke. In the far drydown I definitely smell paper/ink. It has a similar note to the "inky-black myrrh" of Lydia. Almost an older male Lydia, but with the bitterness of old cigarette smoke instead of patchouli sweetness. It has more staying power than Lydia, but where she has a dark, treacley sweetness from the patch, A Man's Fortune has grit and cigarette ash. Wet cigar end accord, maybe? Honestly, the bitterness makes it interesting. This isn't quite like anything else I've smelled. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
