-| Smells like a peaty [[whisky]]. Wintery, nighty. Very strong, I usually only spray a little bit, needs to settle before I go somewhere. I like it a lot, and it's what got me interested in fragrances. Feels intimate, not for parties. |||||+| Smells like a peaty [[whisky]], almost like the ashes of a burned-down deli at the start. Wintery, nighty. Dry incencey, spicey, dark patchouli. Very strong, I usually only spray a little bit, needs to settle before I go somewhere. I like it a lot, and it's what got me interested in fragrances. Feels intimate, not for parties. Really sexy. My fave. Stays strong and dry, musky fullness, old well mainained leather in a smoking room. I wonder what it's be like with a caramely-whisky note… |||||

 +| I found a ⅔ full bottle of this at a job. Yuck bodywash smell at first, too sweet, but fresh, weird combo. A little later a mild fruitiness and patchouli, very sweet, bodywash smell still there. Bland. When dry there's some musk and vanilla, there's one smell in there I like, dunno how to describe it, almost tobacco. |||||

 | Musky, a little powdery, very green and bitter like dandelion and freshly cut flower stems, gets more figleafy as it dries :) Later it's just vanilla, maybe a little caramel. The dandelion and fig was nice in a musk, just a little disappointed with plain vanilla, but it was pleasant.  ||||| | Musky, a little powdery, very green and bitter like dandelion and freshly cut flower stems, gets more figleafy as it dries :) Later it's just vanilla, maybe a little caramel.

 +| Starts with a strong lemon smell, but a very cleaning producty one. Gets powdery, a little bitter like citrus skin or candied peel, a bit perfumey, a bit fizzy. Gets more perfumey and old ladyy, I think this is neroli, it's warm, but still background of cleaning products.\\ The sample came in a vial with no diffuser, which sucks a bit. |||||

 +| Blind bought this because it was figgy and on a big discount. Initially not super keen, pretty sweet, fig fruit, spicey, but it's a bigger smell than other figs I've tried, which I like. Later it has interesting woody smells, almost smokey floralness, warm, fig leaves. Gets smokier actually, bitter tobacco. About as much sandalwood incense as I can take, ie just a hint. Not Summery, more Autumn. Hmm maybe a real hot Summer evening outside would be good actually. fight fire with fire. It's not casual. Fig's still here.\\ Always a fan of a magnetic lid, even if it's covered in tacky gold paint. |||||

 +| First impression was of freshly pruned roses. Goes powdery and more artificial. Gets warmer, vanilla, maybe sandalwood. There's a nice touch of fruit. Smokey sandalwood later, still with rose. |||||
