A cheeky smile from high out the castle of lord Carlisle

Around this period many has bin discussed and shared about this fragrance's opening to drydown.
Till this point I had no interest or opinion about it, simply due to that I did'nt had the intention to buy it.
This week I did had the oppertunity to swap it with 'Cedrat Boise' and thought why not collectors sake.
And today I sprayed it as adviced 1 and 2 sprays on the neck and 1 and 2 sprays on wrists ( not adviced), but I forgot the advice not to smell it before 2 hours, whereby the course of the drydown would start to settle in.
First of all let me state: I believe that the first- split- sniff within the opening can be experienced as an positive joyable introduction in overall.
If one is strongly familiar with PDM's Carlisle, it could be an Quality-to-personal quality inner conflict later depending on what one has spend on this fragrance!
As I've made the mistake to smell myself within the timeframe of 2 hours, I noticed the unpleasant experience that many have mentioned in short and detailed across the net.
I have the urge to rub sweet oil in my nose holes as it feels ash dry, but then is it so or is it my mind being manipulated to assume so? What was the storyset of the perfumeur to create this? Batman trainings to Bruce Wayne dinings?
So I got outside my cave and made a round to the City to experience if it would be less unpleasant............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................sniff - sniff... nope, still....
Fastforward I distracted my thoughts with other sends and bon bon chocolates while for the first time thought of sincerely rubbing of a scent.
As the shops closed and the cold wind was motivating me to go back home I was at ease again with no interverence of the sillage.
Eventually back at home when I almost forgot about it an thus lease expected it, there was an like new cinnamon light like smell.
Not pleasing but surely not unpleasant as before, so this is the moment I've bin waiting for?
At an certain point does the transition to this fase seems rather instantly then fluently, what mindfucks the anticipation.
At this point I am like this is not the perfume for my kind of personality in this time of my life, and that comes from a person with some patience.
I haven't had the oppertunity yet to be on the other side and smell it as one of the crowed ( I do would like to enjoy the drydown on someone going by ).
But overall I gave it an 7
