  1. Love this scent! It’s y second favorite with first place being l’air en hiver. Nice and fresh but with and earthy/spicy take. I hate sweet perfumes and this does a great job of wearing well on the body without turning sweet. Great unisex scent without out being overwhelming.

  2. This is probably the most outdoorsy atmospheric I’ve ever sampled. It smells like I’ve been playing in damp, fresh dirt. It’s got all the earthy, ephemeral qualities that come with that. I can almost feel the worms. I’m not picking up any grass or pine, which is refreshing for what I’m used to with this type of scent. (To be fair, this is not a variety of fragrance I normally buy, so I don’t have much frame of reference). It reminds me of the smell of working in the garden, getting ready to plant new seeds. It’s after the tilling and adding fresh soil. There might be some mulched leaves around. I don’t get patchouli or smoke. As it sits, the slight forest smell emerges, but stays in the background (where it belongs!). It’s almost minty at times, and then the complete dry down is fresh-chopped mushrooms. Like straight up. Weird. I can appreciate this for what it is, but it’s not something I would wear.

  3. Smells like a sister blend to Thanatos; it’s less sweet, but still has an earthy base. I think it’s the lack of hedgerow blossoms and tree sap that make the difference.
