Moon Bloom Hiram Green 2013

Third time testing, but first time taking notes. On first application I can smell tuberose, yes, but something is overwhelmingly reminding me of curry. I think it's the coconut, which is reading as coconut milk. Or perhaps it's the "tropical spices." I don't smell my hated note, cumin, thankfully. Simultaneously there is a spiciness and a hint of green camphoraceous edge to the tuberose. There is also a distinct rubberiness. As it settles down I am getting more spices and the tuberose is mellowing out. I don't perceive jasmine yet, maybe if I concentrate very hard I can imagine it, but ylang is not discernable to me. It may be amping some of the tuberose aspects. It's tropical for sure, but is it a hot weather scent? I'm skeptical. I am going outside in the heat tonight and made sure to apply it well in advance of my outing to give it time to settle down. I think if you sprayed this while out in the heat, with people around, they would complain. I myself don't find it offensive, but I don't love it either.
