Here's something to try. Scroll down and look at the classification charts for Horla. At the time I'm writing this, there are a full eight categories on the pie chart, none of whom have over 20% of the vote. No one can agree on what this thing smells like, and I can't agree with myself on it.

I like it, I think? It's sort of camphorous-smoky. Then it takes a meander through what I can best describe as banana flambé. Then kind of warm, creamy woods. I'm not describing the progression of this fragrance over time, but rapid impressions on consecutive sniffs. It exists in the same way an electron does, perceivable only by a vague probability cloud of where it might be at any given time.

I have not read the Guy de Maupassant short story this is based on. Would I understand it then? Why don't I remember liking this the first time I tried it? This is great.
