Hildegaaard!
I got this scent together with a host of others from BPAL mostly by coincidence. The house was new to me, I don't go in for esotericism and no one converted me to RPGs yet, so the character classes (apparently besides Rogue there are Cleric, Fighter, Mage, Paladin, and Ranger) don't evoke much with me.
This one is certainly a wild girl/guy: I'm overwhelmed by nutmeg, enveloped in ... what? I always thought linen as a perfumery note was marketing hogwash but that's what it reminds me of, somewhat similar in character but not equal to the rice note from Fils de Dieu du Riz etc. I sampled shortly before. Let's say there is grass involved, and not from the green pastures (nor from the hemp fields though) ...
After the looming medieval Hildegard-von-Bingen nutmeg has faded to the back a sweet base of coumarin or benzoin remains.
For the sake of completeness I should mention that my co-tester associated this one with "an extremely chemical artificial smelling sweet lolly like the plastic dolls of yore". It would appear she got the brunt of the base that I had more time to get used to.
