Initially citric and intensely musky. Settles into a weird, stale smell.
Mushy peaches, milky sandalwood, greasy skin. Grandma, is that you?

@CivetOnly wait, mushy peaches + milky sandalwood actually sounds like a really good combo... not so sure about the greasy skin though 😅

@CivetOnly I can totally see the osmanthus being a culprit making the peaches feel more stale! And totally agree about appreciating the olfactory art, but not necessarily wanting to smell like this (I don't blame you, as I wouldn't want to either after reading your description 😅)

@Gourmandgrl okay so as you know, I dislike lactonic nuances. Sandalwood is in its full creamy, milky glory here. About the peachy thing - it smells very stale, combination of osmanthus and frangipani perhaps. Combined with the musk and grease, you can think of it as old people smell.
You get a cozy, nostalgic vibe of spending holidays at your grandparents. Now, do I want to smell that way? Not necessarily, but it's undoubtedly an amazing and evocative piece of artistry.
