Twangy, Tangy Galbanum with Rough-cut Vetiver
Love of galbanum is a prerequisite to appreciation of Miller Harris TERRE DE BOIS, which packs a punch of the stuff, along with sage and enough verbena to make this a pretty tangy and invigorating mix. This is a rough-edged cologne, with raw vetiver and herbs, including fennel and juniper, mingling in a provocative way. I do believe that the cotton candy note listed above is a mistake: this is not sweet in the least!
TERRE DE BOIS is sharp and strong enough to constitute an energizing form of aromatherapy, but I think that because of the tanginess it's a must try before you buy, since not everyone's skin is going to take to this composition well. For those who like bracing colognes with strong green undertones interacting with vetiver, TERRE DE BOIS will be a winner, I am sure, provided that their skin is compatible with the tangy edge.
I have seen this creation classified elsewhere as a masculine cologne, and I do believe that it is more masculine than feminine, though I have really enjoyed wearing it several times myself, thanks to the generous manufacturer's carded sample sent to me by a fellow fragrance traveler, who apparently lives down the street from this British perfume house. Lucky her! (-;
