- ITB: I was expecting a brash symphony of notes, but instead I’m presently surprised with heavy snow and sandalwood, reminding me of Lush’s Snow Cake in the bottle.
- Wet: Snow notes, soft and fluffy, next to subdued sandalwood and lightly powdered amber with the ghost of ground cinnamon long past in the background yield a very interesting combination that shifts between forlorn and silent to warm, faintly spicy, and welcoming.
- Dry: It’s softer now that it’s had several hours to settle, drifting into the realm of faintly resinous snow with a touch of patchouli and dried cinnamon. I think I like this one better while wet, but it still is pleasant.
