Pensive and autumnal.
I have quite an old bottle, the aldehydes within this are still absolutely functional, but there is a vinegar-y tone ro whatever fruits might've been here and have one off.
I'm fairly certain that I'm not smelling everything that this used to contain at all, so it might be skewed, but I'm surprised by how powdery this is! Very, very soft orris, which is entangled beautifully with sandalwood. It's hard to tell them apart.
There's vauge resins as this dries, but I'm also impressed that the aldehydes hold out so long, they're still on my skin after 3 hours slightly.
This feels extremely autumnal to me, a gloomy evergreen forest with gray, chilly skies. Very cloudy, but evocative. It makes me want to rest, and is unexpectedly quite peaceful. Yet, this is also quite cerebral, especially in the late drydown stages. It's calming to the spirit, but it's something that I would wear if attending class. It's present, pensive, peaceful, but intelligently structured even if my particular bottle is past it's prime. The important bits are still retained.
