Smells like dirt. Straight up acrid, earthy, dirt mixed with synthetic.
I understand the poor reviews of this fragrance (5.4/10 at the time of this review). There's nothing to be loved from this synthetic, poor mess.
At the start, I get some fleeting citrus and herbal clary sage notes. They're immediately crushed by a weird, synthetic, earthy-like dirt note. I can't comprehend how people would want to smell like dirt. It smells acrid, dirty and synthetic. I also start getting some weird spicy notes from the bottom notes. I can recognize vetiver, but I also thoguht there was something akin to a dark, humid, earthy note of patchouli (even though it's not there).
Is it a skin chemistry thing? Has my sample gone bad for being stuck too long in my stash? I don't understand how someone vetoed that fragrance for the market. I wouldn't buy this. Hard pass.
