Bottle Design and Artwork: This is a 0.5 Fl Oz. bottle shaped like some kind of 1950s blunted triangular lamp. The lid is a marbled dark green and the bottle itself is frosted with the scent written in the inverse.
Scent:
- ITB: *Cough* This gives Chrome cologne a run for its money with the alcohol base and super strong bludgeoning of aldehydes upon opening. I am picking up a bit of green under a slightly masculine orange with cinnamon and something that’s a bit sour just over the rosewood. It’s… a lot.
- Wet: This is pretty stately with heady lemony incense over slightly candied rose sandalwood and cinnamon with a strong dose of aldehydes. There’s a peak of benzoin with its vanillic undertones at the base. It’s definitely not a scent you would want to spray before going into an elevator. In fact, my cats just cleared out from my room while giving me stink eyes.
- Dry: After 13 hours, this settles into an amber aldehyde cinnamon spice with steeped sandalwood and honeyed jasmine undertones. It’s better once settled, but the intense aldehydes are a bit unsettling to me.
Other Impressions: [Wet] “Rosy and powder, and a tiny little bit of corn flakes when you pull away from it. This is something for a much older person.” -Tony
