Spicy, cozy second skin scent.

It's hard for me to talk about this fragrance. At first I was like, meh, not my cup of tea, but then it grew on me and I couldn't stop smelling my wrist, I loved that pink pepper explosion in the top notes, I was addicted to it, I loved it, it was so pure, so crisp, so clean.

So, I bought the full bottle.

But then, something weird happened: I couldn't detect that beautiful pink pepper alone, instead, the first thing I smelled alongside the spicy notes was some rotten carrot smell and that drove me crazy.
I was like 'I loved this scent and now I'm confused, why is it doing this'.

Now, time has passed and it has become one of my go to scents; yes, I still detect that carrot a bit too strongly with an incensy smell (kind of smoky) that at times bothers me, but the drydown on clothes is my favourite thing: it's the smell I want my clothes to have when they're clean. Not that soapy clean but this kind of gentle, spicy, comfy clean. Idk if someone gets me.

And I'm really fond of this fragrance, it's very elegant and complex, I think it's a very simple but refined creation where I mainly detect an elegant mix of aldehydes, pepper, carrot, something that gives that incense vibe; I like that it's a skin scent but a bit more complex in its structure than others I tried. It mixes well with other musky skin scents too.
It doesn't project but I found out that on clothes it has a decent, quiet longevity. Smelling it on my clothes after a few hours or days it's such a joy!
