Maple glazed bacon, a roaring bonfire & a person wearing clean floral perfume
I can’t make up my mind how I feel about this one. When I first smelled it, I gasped because something about it is really impressive and beautiful…but at the same time, I found myself repulsed as I realised it smelled exactly like maple syrup and bacon - a delicious breakfast combo but not something I want to wear on my body.
I’m guessing the maple syrup note I’m detecting is from the rum and oak barrels. Aside from that, what I get (on both paper and skin) is allll smoke with a hint of soapy floral. I don’t get any leather or herbs or spices; and it’s only woody insofar as the wood is burning. It’s quite an odd combination because it smells like someone freshly showered and wearing a pretty, feminine floral perfume standing besides a roaring bonfire. Yet it somehow works. In the drydown, the vanilla-woodiness comes out more and the smoke is turned down a bit.
Although it’s a beautiful composition, this just doesn’t feel like “me”. It’s too sweet and reminiscent of breakfast and I keep alternating between thinking it smells nice and being vaguely nauseated. I think this confirms for me that rum is a note I should avoid. I never have good luck with rum fragrances (apart from Zoologist Rhinoceros, which is in a class of its own). For what it’s worth, this one is a LOT sweeter and stickier and smokier than Rhino, less herbal and fresh.
This fragrance is fairly strong for the first hour, but not as strong as I expected it to be (which is a good thing). 6 hours later, I’m still getting very faint whiffs of it when I move, but it’s mostly a skin scent.
