Marijuana Kolmaz

A blind purchase led me to a bottle of M.
Now, the description spicy-green is quite broad and allows for
a lot of room for imagination. It’s also difficult here because there is no
fragrance pyramid available, and one can only imagine what the scent might be.
So: A real blind purchase, which was also made easier by the relatively low price.

My first impression: SCRATCH!... Oh dear, I had such a scratch
in my collection before. Its name was DENIM Original.
Indeed, the two seem to have a degree of kinship. Although, from
my memory, the DO was a bit more biting and smelled less like greenery.
Well, anyone who has ever had a cannabis plant around (preferably female)
knows that these plants eventually emit a typical penetrating extremely green smell.
The scent goes in that direction, but of course not entirely (who wants to smell like
a hemp stalk and fend off hordes of greedy consumers?).
Due to the lack of a fragrance pyramid, I’m navigating through the comparison with DO - At least
I’m trying to.
I’m quite sure that in the top note there are citrus fruits, albeit very hidden
and a bit of oregano. Even after the top note fades, M does not lose its
strength but rather its stubbornness. The bitter green haze remains, but without
the piercing citrus fruits. So what do we have now? Sage, Dalmei, Adomai - as Catweazle
(older folks among us know who I mean) often mumbled? Yes, I think there’s a bit of sage in there
along with something alcoholic - gin perhaps. And wood of course, which I can’t specify.
After a while - maybe 1 or 2 hours, I obviously reach the base note, as the
scent perception changes. The weak gin in the background of the green jungle (?) seems to disappear - drunk dry, I assume (and immediately I have Mr. Allnut from African Queen in front of me, to whom this scent would actually suit perfectly!). The base is also dominated by a green and soapy (hmm, wasn’t that also perceptible before?) smell. Here I have to run to my kitchen spice department, where I find something peppery and caraway-like, maybe also something in the direction of thyme.
Hmm, I don’t know better.
The conclusion, however, is: If you like sweet, gourmand, or vetiver-like scents, you are COMPLETELY wrong here.
This fellow here is for the unshaven lumberjack. Such a scent is expected from a rugged
unconventional man. Definitely not for softies! Not an office scent and also not a scent
for a night out. For people who like DO, it is definitely a greener alternative.
I don’t even know for what occasion it would be useful (maybe in a steam-powered little boat with a few bottles of gin and a nagging maiden inside, giggle).
I don’t know if I will use it often (I’m too much of a softie for that).
I will definitely keep it, it’s just too unusual. And for that, it gets a score of 7.5 from me.

Addendum:
My better half has denied me approval for the scent... I guess I’ll have to use the steam-powered little boat along with gin...
