(my batch was made in 2020, according to checkfresh) - This scent is In. Sane. I was alive when it came out, but I have no memory of anyone smelling like this in my youth. I did the smallest spritz inside my elbow, and it is reaching into my nose and behind my eyes. Soap or shaving cream. Cigarette AND cigar smoke. Mint gum. When I close my eyes I see the inside of an Elks lodge or Masons club. I would love to hug an elderly man wearing this. Can I possibly carry it off? I like assertive 1980s scents for women, but I may have bitten off more than I can chew here. Each time I unbend my arm a new wave of the scent rolls toward me. Now I am getting some fruit - smells like oranges. What a scent journey. This is my most complex scent by far. So many new visuals coming to mind every time I sniff it. Wooden boxes. Wood paneling. Smoke-tinged upholstery.
it is cool that you get visuals when hit by a scent. i do to. have you ever explored creative writing inspired by scents? delve deeper into the images. what about those wooden boxes. what's inside? who sits on those smoke tinged seats? are they in the Elks lodge! it is fun to explore.
