Cold stone, metal, peppery green. Seems like everything is accounted for! Much nicer than I expected. A fetching masculine scent on the surface but I would wear this. Murky green spiced with gunpowder. Stone and metal, neither sharp or strong, just there below a surface of spiced, dark green. There’s a very, very mild sweetness to this I can’t place, something that smooths the edges of this scent and adds a little warmth. I suspect amber. Over time I’m starting to get a hint of pencil shavings so now I’m suspicious of red patchouli (patchouli makes sense for the woody warmth I’m getting now). This would be a keeper but for the pencil note that I amp too much. Ah well. Still a good blend that I otherwise enjoy.
I really like this one, I’m keeping my sample for when warmer weather arrives- it’s a lovely light green with something more interesting under the surface. Went slightly more ‘perfumey’ on my skin as it dried, but in a way that I’m really not mad at. It smells like the ghost of a fancy lady hovering over her kudzu-covered tombstone.
