Scent:
- ITI: I certainly am getting green apple, but it reads more of an apple crisp green apple dusted with cinnamon sugar, nutmeg, and a touch of incense-infused butter (but very light). The labdanum here is a tarry and very noticeable. I wish there were a little less of it as it takes away from the apple notes.
- Wet: The spices on my skin read like spiced apple cider, but then the incense blooms, dark, shadowy, and thick, obscuring some of the lighter, almost festive tones. There’s a touch of a powdery tone at the very back, but the labdanum takes center stage, just above the green apple.
- Dry: Nutmeg and cinnamon butter mingle with brown sugar and slivers of incense-steeped roses. The incense here is more woody than I would normally expect, like headshop woody stick incense. It’s nice together, but I do wish the tartness of the green apple lasted longer on my skin.
Other Impressions: [Wet] “It’s a lot of powder and flowers. They’re rosy flowers.” -Tony
