This one was a big turnaround for me. At first attempt, I got a screeching iris accord totally out of solution. Left a note to self “confusing scent tbh. not terrible not great.” Upon a second attempt, I got smooth salty cinnamon resting on a resinous base that never becomes overly vanilla or gourmand. The ambergris dry-down is addictive. On the Other Review Site, I see comps to Althair, which makes little sense to me. (I get that much more with Silky Woods Exilir, which I got in the same test kit). If we must comp a PdM, I maybe get some Oajan here. But I like it better than Oajan, on account of it being way less sweet and more woody, salty, spicy. Compliments, though admittedly from family, not strangers. I ordered the 10ml to have around this fall and winter, but a full bottle may have to follow.
