The study of a scholar: years of dust over yellowed book spines & antique wooden furniture. Perfect for bibliophiles & woodworms.

The scent could be great if it weren't for the dominating chocolate. The lovely green notes, mushrooms, and woods are somewhat overshadowed.

Cocoa powder sprinkled on damp forest floor. A few conifers are oozing resin. Very quirky. You have to like it.

Dark chocolate with tobacco and a lot of amber at first. Over time, everything is enveloped by velvety, black roses.
A scent for the night.

I was promised something intense, but this scent is quite gentle on me. Earth, forest, and animal wrapped in amber-chocolate. Great and wearable!

First sour-herb-bitter, then softer, tobacco leaves drizzled with rose oil & cocoa, lots of wood and yes, really mushroom. Interesting.

Smells like Grandpa's snuff tobacco from back in the day.

Old books, library, cypress (very old), almost like layered, with a base of annoyingly strong tobacco. Wash-resistant.

First dark chocolate, then geranium and rose take turns. Tobacco joins in after 5 minutes. Quite nice, but it doesn't blow me away.
