Scent:
- ITI: Okay, sultry bourbon vanilla herbal patchouli vampire! The shadows of benzoin and cedar whisper around his form, a billowing cloak muffling predatory steps. 2022 – Oh, that’s a sexy patchouli vampire. I imagine his hair glistening dark, eyes shadowed yet glinting from deep within a forest of dense cedars, the smoke of cardamom clove and faded bourbon vanille scenting the air just long enough for him to overtake me.
- Wet: On the skin, the vanilla lunges forward, breathing bourbon and cardamom fire over dark patchouli and almost astringently assertive benzoin. A year later and Mr. Hessian is more stalking patchouli amongst cedar spiced with smoldering clove, ginger chai, and cardamom. There’s a glimmer of benzoin in the back, and other than a softness at the very end, that vanilla has practically vanished. Hmm, I might need to get myself a bottle while it’s a resurgence.
- Dry: This one doesn’t pass the 10 hour mark, but it’s pleasant enough to warrant reapplication, Upon a second application and just over an hour dry-down, this is a darker woodsy vampire, swathed in bourbon vanilla and trailing benzoin and cardamom spice with a naughty suggestion of rich black patchouli.
Other Impressions: [Wet] “It smells like a candy shop. It’s kinda like those chalky spearmint candies bit that isn’t all.” -Tony
