Gone too soon
Though I find the performance mediocre at best, this scent is a love for me.
It's getting up early on a rainy morning to read in a comfy chair before you have to start your day. There's the signature IA musty-ness - a nuance of dusty attic in an old house. The tea is earthy, bitter, smoking, and grounded. Floating over it is orris that announces itself as shortbread cookies: buttery, flaky, dense, rich. Sandalwood is present as a sweet creaminess that lingers among moss in the drydown. This is the most comforting scent I own, and I bring it out exclusively for cold and rainy days.
Unfortunately, the longevity is seriously lacking. It becomes a skin scent after an hour or two.
