Missanneshirleyofgg Report post Posted March 1, 2020 I am cinnamon sensitive so I did not skin test. In bottle very pretty. Gave me mixed drink vibes. Like a rum chata without the creaminess. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
artisjok Report post Posted March 4, 2020 (edited) When this trio arrived, it was A dry scent, almost made me cough. Luckily, after only a couple weeks resting it’s developed more into what I had hoped... I’m a big fan of vetiver, and I thought that rum would be thick and sweet, so in my head it was heavenly. I hoped the cinnamon bark was a welcome spice, not overload. First applying, I can detect all components. Very quickly, the vetiver and cinnamon bark claim dominance and it’s that dryness I first feared. Thank goodness, after about ten minutes, rum comes back, warm and glowing. It’s not boozy one me at all. It’s more there to smooth out the edges, and lending a slightly sweet golden aura to the other two notes. The vetiver outlasts the cinnamon (it’s always outlasting others on my skin), yet the rum keeps up. I’m surprised & pleased by this. I enjoy the scent, yet it’s not a favorite. If the rum continues to grow in strength, and I hope it does, I think it’ll make me happier. my partner likes it, even straight from the mail. He says he felt like putting on a suit to fit the scent. I’m gonna age it some more and see what happens~~~~~~ maybe by the Fall, it’ll be right where I hoped, and just in time!

Lucchesa Report post Posted March 24, 2020 Spiced rum, check. Cinnamon bark, check. Vetiver? Usually vetiver is powerful and unmistakable, but for the first hour or two it was sheltering in place so far beneath the other notes that I could barely make it out. So, rum and cinnamon and clove, but somehow it's not foodie in feeling to me. I agree with artisjok that it's not a sweet, sloshy rum. And about an hour into weartime, the vetiver comes out of hiding and turns a nice but unremarkable scent into something really good. It's a sweet vetiver, not a harsh, smoky one, and it gradually tilts the balance until the spices fade, then the rum, and the late drydown is mostly vetiver. You could wear this on a date and it would just get sexier and sexier. Totally unisex, good wear length. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zankoku_zen Report post Posted April 8, 2020 Rum, dry cinnamon bark, and smoky vetiver. Ugh, this reminds me to Bay Rum but drier. UNF. So good. Medium throw and wear length. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
torikitty Report post Posted June 2, 2020 I initially didn't enjoy this, it leaned too dry and masculine. I think the vetiver overpowers in the imp. Once on, the spiced rum sweetens up and mellows things out. This would be a great room scent for fall, but I wonder if it's my skin that is allowing things to blend together better. Maybe I'll experiment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dark Alice Report post Posted May 24, 2021 I took chance on this while drinking wine. HOLY SMOKES IS THIS GORGEOUS!! It smells like a smoked drink I have made with rum. It's delicious and I am so glad I got a bottle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
