Doesn't match the marketing

Don't let the marketing graphics fool you. This isn't some bleak end of the world outdoorsy fragrance. It is a sweet soft woody fig with a ton of cashmeran. It's more along the lines of Gyspy Water or Velvet Haze than say Super Cedar.
The fig in it isn't the green fig you get in something like Philosykos - its sweet and ripe like a fig candy.
Usually Byredo is on point with their marketing but I think they missed the mark this time. If they had've gone for a youthful, fun and delicate campaign, it would have fit better.
Overall its quite nice, but not challenging or exceptional. Regardless, the people who love to post monochromatic shelfies on instagram will lap this up.

Danielle Brooks must love cloves!

I added this to my sample list because I've been watching "The Home Edit" on Netflix and I noticed this on Danielle Brooks perfume shelf. I loved her in "Orange is the New Black" and I just think she's so gorgeous, talented and humble. She also seems to have great taste, so I thought "what could go wrong?"

Well I'm sure this fragrance must smell amazing on Miss Taystee herself, but it's not my cup of tea. Honestly, I am shocked to see so many notes listed on this fragrance because all I smell is a BIG blast of cloves. It is a very linear aroma from beginning to end. Cloves, cloves, and more cloves!

It's not a bad smell per se. In fact clove is one of my favorite spice smells, especially around the holidays. I like to stick cloves into an orange to make a homemade potpourri around the holidays. Maybe this perfume could benefit from a hint of orange. Or maybe you could layer it with something orangey? Either way, it smells like an ingredient for Christmas potpourri. It also smells medicinal or like an all natural cleaning product like "Thieves" oil from Young Living. Not a bad smell, just not interesting to me.

Not what I thought

I was on a hunt for a spicy but cool and clarifying perfume. I bought this as a blind buy and thought the description of the notes were what I was looking for. It is definitely something else what I was looking for or what I had read from most of the reviews.
It has this burned plastic vibe at first and then turns really minty. I don’t get anything that reminds me of christmas it’s just minty for me. No one seems to like it either, the comments are mainly just polite or no comments at all. I’ve been trying to use this all winter this and last year but is hardly a dent on my bottle. This bottle which I’m not too fond of seems to last forever.

Peppery smoker's cough

Sichuan pepper always smells ashen, like the face of a lifetime smoker (see Journey Man for reference), but in Eleventh Hour it gains a Vicks Vapor Rub dimension that gives it a jaunty flourish of something minty-fresh. Cigarettes and mouthwash, feathered out at the edges by the musky, vegetal warmth of carrot seeds. There is not much - to my nose, at least - of the advertized 'mulled wine' effect and it doesn't smell like Christmas at all, unless Christmas smells like cheap men's cologne, wood pulp, and the silver foil inside an empty pack of mentholated cigarettes.

Cowardice is punished with the end of the world

One of my recurring nightmares, not too often, but sometimes again, contains images of huge tidal waves crashing onto the coast and burying us without a chance. Eleventh Hour" also resorts to similar myths, (primeval) fears and premonitions; or at least he has put his name in this direction. That it's close to near and we've been destroying our unique planet for decades, even the biggest dumb-jaw might know (except Trump now) and that it might even be too late to change something, too.

But this still quite fresh Byredo is anything but a pessimistic doomsday scent that screams "after me the Flood". It's a very green, spicy pepper-rum cocktail that doesn't suit me at all. He captures the hopelessness and fear, the consumption of alcohol and the flight to higher green mountain ranges. If one should stick to the thought. But there are definitely more fun and pleasant associations that a fragrance can and should evoke...

On a purely olfactory level, this Byredo is also less appealing to me. As always made of high quality, a fine "blend" so to speak, but I still don't like figs in my perfume. In "Eleventh Hour" a triumvirate of pepper, fig and rum sets the tone. And it doesn't exactly go squeamishly to the point... Cinnamon associations also spread to me, but rather green and freshly coloured in spring. A very texture-rich, tempting paradise scent, for many a hit, which creates in MIR but only a migraine paradise and which I can hardly wear. And fragrance reviews remain highly subjective and personal. But if you like figs with a good grip, you have to test them. And even face the downfall... ;-)

Flacon: nordic by nature
Sillage: at first breathtaking, then quickly dampened
Shelf-life: 7 hours but a little bit loose

Conclusion: when the world ends, you are allowed to drink rum and stink of figs. Or something like that. But even if the sky falls to the earth, I will no longer be a friend of "cowardly" fumes... i'm sorry.
