Bottle Design and Artwork: This is a 1/32 imp decant from Ajevie. The label features the decanting company name across the font in large burgundy and purple font. The back of the label has the company name and scent notes in small black font, while the name of the scent is above that in larger stylized black font. I was unable to find label art.
Scent:
- ITI: Salty skin sweat, but think like getting the meat sweats while eating at a Brazilian steakhouse, with a little bit of grapefruit sparkles to add some dimension. I’m not picking up much in terms of cardamom or florals, though.
- Wet: Very light cardamom with a hint of grapefruit softened by a touch of floral pollen and humid…ham. Yeah, that’s strange. It kinds of has that fusty mushroom-tone, but it just feels strange here.
- Dry: After 10 hours, I’m left with a touch of a more approachable salted ham note against a sliver of grapefruit rind surrounded by ozone. I like it more now that it has settled, but that ham note still throws me.
Other Impressions: [Wet] “Faintly galub jamun-y, like super faint. Did you just put it on? I can barely smell it.” -Tony
