Scent:
- ITI: Oh, that’s pretty – C13 is a peary moonflower musk sprinkled with light rose petals , a pinch of allspice, and a suggestion of sweet florals. It’s juicy, mouth-wateringly so with a breath of smooth vanilla saphir to round out the scent.
- Wet: Agave-sweetened amber enrobed into a fruity jasmine-tinted crystalline and vanillic saphir and almost peachy moon musk. There’s just a touch of poppy and papyrus-kissed mallow and a whisper of rose adding a nuanced floral sweetness to the blend. There’s just a whisper of spice caressed in beautiful swathes of fruity floral vanilla macaroon tones.
- Dry: After 10 hours, this is a crystalline billowy soft lemon and jasmine-kissed saphir with undertones of rose, poppy, and maybe the suggestion of allspice. I liked it better when the fruiter tones drove the scent, but this is quite demure and pleasant in its present state.
Other Impressions: [Wet] “Grape juice, cherries, and a little bit of Old Spice. Wait, Brut, not Old Spice.” -Tony
