soft woods with a sweet hobbity funk

Eidisis from Aesop is a melancholic, cedary soft sandalwood scent with a sweet, earthy Hobbity funk. A Hobbit who maybe stayed at home instead and never had an adventure, never became a barrel riding, troll tricking, goblin killing, elven cultural aficionado. A hobbit who never once left The Shire but who smoked his peppery pipeweed by his cozy hearth with his loamy feet propped on a hand-carved stool, who dreamed of giant eagles and great black bears and died comfortably in his bed with an adventure-shaped hole in his heart and a peculiar sadness he could never name.

A Tamer Grimoire

I love cumin as a note in perfumery, as much as I love it as a spice in the kitchen. It's got this incredibly sexy, sweaty, dirty, erotic feel to it. It's warm, sensual and a bit naughty. Here it's mixed with a soupçon of lemony, but smoky olibanum, creamy almost lactonic sandalwood and dry, calming cedar. A beautiful blend by a fantastic perfumer.

For Gamine Lumberjacks

When Eidesis was released I had a short spiky haircut, bad acne on my cheeks, and exclusively donned a fitted leather jacket, black midi skirt, and knee high boots with a square toe. I bought it because it smelled like someone had condensed my essence into a tiny bottle. Gorgeously spicy with a slight creaminess. Just wish it was louder and lasted longer since it's ten trillion racks for 50ml. I'm only compelled to repurchase it because my friend now works at Aesop and can get it at a discount. I wouldn't bother otherwise.

Good sandalwood- if only there was less cumin

Intriguing pepper blast for 15 minutes, cumin for half an hour and sometimes more, then a drydown that's sandalwood and light florals that's great for relaxing and lasts for around 4 hours. Unfortunately the cumin overstays its welcome in my opinion, and very much limits how often Eidesis can be worn. It's worth spraying on fabrics in advance, however, and great as a warm scent for cold weather.

Cumin and close the door

You can't fault a perfume for being what it is. Eidesis is very heavy on the cumin (to my nose) and this 'reads' (once again, to my nose) as old sweat. Some sweetness comes through as well, so all in all it's not for me.
I know not everyone reacts to cumin the same way, so this review is basically saying: if you like cumin in a perfume, this is one to try!
