Scent:
- ITI: Ew. This starts out as strawberry SweeTarts with a touch of Zinfandel fruity smokiness… then an absolute unit of oudic whiffiness bowls me over and I must set the imp down. This isn’t one I’m going to test while at work.
- Wet: At first it’s baby wipes and wine as the floral goes a bit indolic on the skin, but the sweeter tones of the Zin raspberry and rose petals makes me think someone is trying to cover a bathroom mess.
- Dry: For such a strong indolic (almost oudh-y) floral scent, I was expecting better longevity. After 3 hours, there’s just a suggestion rooty patchouli and tonka with a drop of floral wine. Honestly not a loss for me.
Other Impressions: [Wet] “Mmm, poop flowers. It’s like smelling a beautiful bouquet of roses right next to the toilet, specifically an occupied restroom.” -Tony
