Lava?
This didn't really live up to expectations. On me, this is a indolic floral with a bit of spice, which is very pretty, but there isn't a hint of lava. I didn't find it especially smoky either. The listed notes don't include any indolic white flowers, but I could swear they were there.
I do like the way the vanilla and nutmeg are done here. I think Dr. Covey showed a deft touch with the spices. Along with the florals, it is just a gorgeous combo. The Frankincense is a good fit for the florals and spices.
I was disappointed in the longevity of my first two tests, lasting barely four hours. It may perform better when it's more humid. It did seem rather linear. The florals hold center stage throughout the life of the fragrance.
Finally, this is highly subjective, of course, but this doesn't strike me as a unisex fragrance. It leans very feminine, but that is just my perception. Anyone who likes sweet, spicy florals might love this. All told, it's nice, but as florals go, it's a bit run-of-the-mill. I'll have fun with my mini, but I won't purchase it again.
Please forgive reporting, but like a total derp, I posted this review under the wrong Olympic Orchids scent.
