not bad but kind of camphorous and medicinal
Definitely a darker take on evergreens, but still infused with gorgeous resinous juniper and jammy pine. The woods are realistic and rich in this, bright with a lot of depth. There’s a sigh of smoke over the top – usually I have issues with smoke notes, but this one didn’t do that for me (it wasn’t so much of a woodsmoke smell, which may have been why). Although it’s certainly a dark woody scent, I also didn’t get much of an indolic skanky oud.
This is a powerful scent! It’s dark, scary, and sexy. There’s a lot of evergreen trees and smoke, and it absolutely reminds me of a witch doing some black magic in the middle of a winter forest.
