Wow, this is awful
It smells exactly like turpentine to me, I read a bunch of reviews and some people claimed it changed over time so I left it on for about an hour and a half on a spot on the back of my hand, which tingled strangely the entire time.. I have no clue who thinks this smells nice.. after an hour and a half and developing a mild headache from sniffing it repeatedly, I finally washed it off.
It had faded a tiny amount and you could start to tell there was some kind of wood scent buried beneath the paint stripper but it still smelled strongly of turpentine to me, I don't care if this transforms into the nicest smelling wood in the world after it fades down (which some people claim it does), you'd have to spend hours smelling exactly like you've gone mad and soaked yourself in turpentine first, I might put some on a test strip and see if it ever changes but it's never going back on my skin in a million years
I think the underlying wood smell is vaguely like freshly cut wood like you'd find in a lumber yard, I don't get any kind of sweetness or honey from it though it's listed as one of the notes, I just cannot stress enough that for the few hours I had this on it smelt exactly like paint stripper. I've seen reviews of people saying it's a strong oud smell and I have a few oud's, like Tom Ford Oud Wood, Creed Royal Oud, Ameer Al Oud Intense etc and none of them smell remotely like this. It's a powerhouse for projection and longevity (I could still smell it after I tried washing it off with soap and water). I also have no idea why it was so tingly on the back of my hand other than maybe I was psyching myself out thinking I had just actually rubbed turpentine all over my skin.
It is by far the worst scent I own out of a collection of about a hundred.
