Bright & Rounded
The aroma of this is very bright, & also very rounded in the sense of there being no sharp corners or vorsprungen (somehow that word seems to fit better than 'prominences'). It' s one of those 'fumes that seem °slender° on first assay, but transpires well hefty in course of actual wearing; & it's a long time ago now that I learned not to be putten-off by that, whereas had I not learnt it I would have boughten ~Layton~ instead.
I do think this could plausibly be deemed an °oakmossless chypre°. In its particularities it is a tremendously unique fragrance; and I wonder whether its uniquity proceeds from the use of the bitter-almond (presumably cyanide-free (otherwise the IFRA ^might just^ get involved!)) ; but whatever it is, the synergy of it and the lavender engenders a really quite lovelily astringent quasi-chypre effect. And the muskiness is 7 to 8 on the muskiness-richter scale, and a surpassingly thoroughly polished & spirity muskiness at that!
