Patchouliful Laboratorio Olfattivo 2014

why labdanum why
the opening is definitely heavily spiced with a prominent clove and bright citrus but somewhat softened up by a sweet cinnamon. it’s powdery and warm.
the heart of this is veryyy sweet and creamy, with a floral blend of iris and fragipani, with an added earthy and herbal patchouli. A powdery, sweet, and soft earthy blend.
once we get to the dry down it has an almost marshmallow like sweetness, it’s a fluffy cloud with a candied patchouli. I loved this stage of the scent but then the labdandum created a problem as the scent fully developed a few hrs later…it has an extremely ambery and powdery ultra sweet baby powder scent here. then paired with dry cedar, it’s just an extreme amount of dry powdery accords with the sweetness becoming in your face with a resinous ambery cloud hovering over everything. This would’ve been amazing sans the labdanum it was just wayyy too ambery, resinous, spiced and powdery for me.
