a fragrant katabasis

Mississippi Medicine by DS & Durga opens with an astringent, peppery cypress, and gives way to a pine-crackling, smoky fire, sweet birch, muddy grass, and scorched leaves… and dries down to a sweetly herbaceous, woody, incense; strange smoke-scented hair upon waking, and the vague dream of descending into the dark, dancing and divining with ancestors, and having been part of rituals older than you can imagine.

A time capsule

This evokes the beautiful log cabin my grandparents had, which has now been torn down and replaced by a run of the mill construction on the same land. Nothing comes close to those memories for me. This is waking up early on a chill morning, the night after we had a crackling fire in the stove. The smoke still floats around the cabin with its particular hundred year old cabin smell, and I step outside into the cool morning air, fragrant with sappy pine and water from the lake. I hear a loon's spooky call. There's mist over the bay. Something acrid drifts through the air, coming and going, something of the earth. No one and nothing seems awake yet.

Mysterious, evocative, and wonderfully dry without being dusty. A beautiful smoky scent with a delicate touch.

Singular

This is one of the fragrances that I would personally call a masterpiece. There is nothing else like it. A high quality niche that is worth its price tag in my opinion. It is unisex but I would see as the signature of a complex and somewhat artistic man. The smell of a North American West Coast forest layered with a good dose of smoke, not the camp fire type. When I pass by Nordstrom, I spray it on a paper strip and keep in in my coat pocket. This is love.

Into the woods, towards the fire

This scent really takes you into the forest. It opens up fresh and, yes, medicinal, which is a scent I love. You smell the pine trees, and as it dries down, your walk in the woods is over and you get the smokiness of a campfire nearby.
I'd say the freshness of this scent is related to Cowboy Grass also by D.S. & Durga, while the dry-down is a bit more like Bowmakers Eau de Parfum (again, D.S. & Durga). The smoky vibe is reminiscent of Neandertal Us by Neandertal or Askr by Jorum Studios.
A really evocative scent, when you smell it, you can feel a nightsky full of stars above you.

Simply stunning

Opens with a strong medicinal note, 5 minutes later it's shifted into juniper, cedar, smoke (both palo santo and campfire), pine, and all things herbal and earthy and good. The dry down is something fuzzy and warm that I can't identify. Longevity was a little disappointing. This is an extraordinary fragrance and while I primarily wear unisex frags myself this leans just a touch too masculine even for me.
