“I have so many thoughts on this scent. It's rich, stunning, interesting but wearable, and keeps hitting me with a symphony of notes that blend together wonderfully while still being just distinct enough to make out individually. I get: smoke, chocolate, incense, myrrh, tonka, nuts, not so much almond as marzipan, and maybe a hint of booze. It seems to bloom around me in a way that's different from what I smell directly on my skin - I get hit with these lovely waves of gentle, deep florals from out of nowhere every 30-60 minutes, perhaps the orris from Amber Iris? It's subtle, yet whenever I come back into the room I just left, that's also the note that stands out the most, and only then do I notice the more gourmand and smokey notes. Still, they appear almost immediately after, blending together in a way that's very sweet but not cloying. So far, I've tested this in moderately warm temps, with moderate activity, and its longevity seems good on me (around 6-8 hours). Its sillage is more quiet than loud, but not quiet enough to be a skin scent; people within friendly talking distance should still smell it. I adore this fragrance; the only thing holding me back from buying a full bottle (for now) is that I'm also intrigued by one of the blends I made with the essential discovery set (Cardamom Moss + Tonka Sesame + Amber Iris), and I'm torn between the two.”
