this one smelled so strange compared to what the notes entailed but it was a really enjoyable scent. This to my nose opens with a strong scent of Dr Pepper and leather. It smells like as if you took a leather coat and spilled Dr Pepper all over it. The lemon is there too but it’s a really only an opening note of citrus, and then it doesn’t really turn up afterwards. The hay here is earthy, grassy, and dry. The orris and the tobacco flowers add even more earthiness but with a hint of smoky sweetness underlying. There’s an asphalt note in this and it weirdly enough smells just like wet cement, like the sidewalk after it’s rained that morning. The dry down of this is a leather heavy scent with sweet earthy accords and an add addition of asphalt as a background note, but I think the combination all works very well.
