| - | | 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… | + | | Smells like a peaty [[whisky]], almost like the ashes of a burned-down deli at the start. Wintery, nighty.

| - | | I got sick of //Bohemian Lime//, so showered it off and put this on. Fizzy, powdery, sticky-sweet lolly smell. Very sweet, but a nice amount of wood and musk and patchouli underneath I think. I don't notice the citrus, and only a little ginger via its sharpness. Later it's still powdery, but more floral, kinda old-lady-y.

The dandelion and fig was nice in a musk, just a little disappointed with plain vanilla, but it was pleasant. |

| - | | Smells of sandalwood (apparently rosewood) | + | | 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. |||| |

| - | | Initially a sharp floral scent, fresh water, smells like a vase of freshly cut flowers as it dries, or a bath full of flowers and bubbles. A little citrus, maybe crisp, sugary fruit. Can imagine wearing for casual drinks, though maybe it's a bit too florist shop for me to wear often. Oh, now it's getting a little ambery. Want to try it layered with something orange.

| - | | 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. ||||| | + | |
