Cassia
The summer of 2008 was long and hot, at least to my memory. A stocky man with dark hair, piercing eyes, and a gold chain left us small items out of thankfulness - bracelets, scarves, necklaces, ... I came into a tester of Atkinson's Ghibli. Can I accept that? Do I really want that scent? What might it be?
According to the notes found online it should be a nice Oriental, and of course, as a "masculine" it is sold with the EdT moniker. To my nose the citrus quickly gives way to stuffy cinnamon and moss. I usually love cinnamon in all shapes and forms but this one comes over a bit too showy, too brutally masculine despite a few promising flowers and a nice amber in the background.
My then significant other associated the smell with salves for old ladies, decay, death, and funerals.
Note to self: never translate reviews with a head cold - either all scent has vanished from the bottle or I'm currently brutally torturing everyone in my vicinity with a cloud of flowery cinnamon.
