Ina Garten Davita Report post Posted June 4, 2019 7-year aged patchouli and polished black cedar with midnight-black vegetal musk, fossilized amber, Spanish moss, and nagarmotha. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zankoku_zen Report post Posted June 5, 2019 This one is cedar, nagarmotha, and moss. I end up with a somewhat clean fougere blackened by cedar and patchouli. It's oddly gender neutral toward masculine on me, and for those of you that like clean musk/fougeres, give this a whirl. Good throw and wear length. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
supreme_c0rt Report post Posted August 3, 2019 There's the mystery oudh again -- not listed, but there it is. Unfortunately, the barnyard kind. I guess that's the nagarmotha, as it's not quite as strong as actual oudh is. I sorta get the cedar and patchouli but they're being overshadowed by that indolic effect. The throw is very faint and longevity not great either, so I will have to give this one a pass. Just a phase. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HerbGirl Report post Posted October 17, 2020 (edited) I'm hesitant to write a review for this, as it has become a favorite but is difficult to explain. Yes, it starts off a bit worrisome with the nagarmotha threatening to go poudh but it smooths out into the most glorious wood pulpy dark incense scent which made that worry seem almost silly. I am utterly in love with this scent. It is, like I said, a glorious wood pulpy incense. I can smell the patchouli and the dark vegetal musk and the moss but none of them stand out. I am thrilled that I was able to buy a bottle (or 2, lol) today!!! Eta: I cannot believe this oil hasn't had more love. This has become one of my top 5 and I just bought another bottle. Glorious. And grounding. And I can't wear poudh...it isn't here. (May '21) Eta2: The worrysome introduction is not lasting more than 5 minutes now (hooray for aging!) and I still love this so so much. It has become a comfort scent for me. I'm not sure if it's the moss, but there is a definite floral overtone to this that is becoming a bit more pronounced and it is intriguing. I don't understand why there isn't more love for this gem, but I will love it for everyone! (Dec '21) Edited December 24, 2021 by HerbGirl Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
murqmaid Report post Posted November 11, 2020 (edited) i was hesitant to write this reivew but wanted to get something down because so little has been said. i've skin tested this a couple times now, and i still don't know how to feel about it. wet: spicy, moss fougere with musk. the nagarmotha is yelling at me, and i don't like it. dry: i prefer it much more in this phase. the musk is strong and balancing, and it really makes this blend enjoyable for me. the nagarmotha has settled down *alot* and i'm getting to enjoy the other woody notes i love (patch, moss) verdict: i like this when dry, but it isn't a bottle for me.... i prefer it over st. lois; and it's definitely an interesting one to test and analyze. this imp should definitely go to someone who will love it more than i.
