Scent

Great song! Scent can't live up to its namesake.

I'm trying the perfume for the first time. The top feels a little generic-aquatic. I tend to get that with cardamom aromachems, a connection exploited I think in the concept behind Epice Marine.

The heart is more up my alley, a light smoke. But it's more piney/citrussy frankincense than mysterious lapsang souchong, and I feel like the music is calling for something with more growl. Maybe I didn't apply enough? I do appreciate the fact that it gets smokier over time. A lot of smoky scents open with some kind of explosion and then go hide in mama's vanilla sugar. There's certainly a different story to this one.

Unfortunately for me the story ends on an industrial cleaner note.
