Rotting Logs and peat bogs

Yatagan for me is one of those fragrances I really don't wear as much as I should or could. It really gives me everything I want from a fragrance, strength, longevity, woods, herbs, the smell of animal posteriors... I really love the rotting forest feeling I get from this.

Like Kouros, this is one of those fragrances that really push the envelope of decency. It's like a gamekeeper's leather satchel full of wild herbs and wood shavings and carrying the scent of decay. Not the rancid smell of death, but the smell of humus and fungi growing on logs. I understand the soup references (though Agua Brava is much more evocative of soup to me). The richness of the notes found in Yatagan makes it quite different from most of what is released nowadays.

For those who are fans of the Hobbit Movie, Radagast the brown would wear Yatagan.
