Not sure how to perceive this one

On paper, this was one of my favorite scents in the Goldfield & Banks discovery kit. However, on my skin it seems to be doing something odd. I loved the opening, it was a blast of spicy resinous perfection. But the dry-down has taken on an almost medicinal turn. It must be the cardamom reminding me a bit of black licorice. I can't get past that strong herbal note that seems to cling to my skin and clear my sinuses like vapo-rub. It's not entirely unpleasant, just different. I think it may just be my body chemistry and I would likely enjoy this more on someone else.

So different...

...my husband and I perceive the fragrance. So extreme I have experienced that with no other fragrance!
I smell creamy sandalwood & rosewood. Creamy and warm. And still summery. Like a light scent in the summer heat, creeping up your nose with a light breeze.

My husband smells heavy, woody tangerine. "Could also be a sauna infusion". For him, a pure winter scent.

In the practice of a Heilpraktikerin once smelled exactly like it. She then gave me a small bottle of Mary Magdalene oil. I do not know what it is, but I smell it uuuunheimlich gladly! Kind of soothing. Anyway... EXACTLY what it smells like!
