Very helpful Review 7  
Brilliant challenge for the nose.... ACCEPTED!
And diving into swirling eddies of smoke and wood and.... now I need a moment. In the meantime, I thank the sample donor (Frank, you did an AMAZING job!!)
Out come the "rodents!" And they are partially covered by the earth of patchouli. The hay from the nearby meadow smells, while spices are sold at a bazaar. Cardamom, clove, coriander, and a few more are exchanged for some shy flowers from the stall next door, just like the finest balsams are traded for the best woods.
Now I feel like I am standing in the middle of a forest, among ancient cedars and cypresses. But I am not deterred so far. I KNOW that the mown June meadow is not far away. And neither is the spice market. Time and again, a different scent flag wafts in, settling in my nose. As soon as it arrives, it is gently veiled, and another aroma sneaks in. Are there not also roses in play?
Before I am somewhat sure here, it seems that incense and vanilla want to compete in fragrance.
But they are fair enough not to want to completely overshadow the other pleasant scents.
Each "group" seems to float in the foreground at times and in the background at others. Everything forms a very mysterious harmony, whose "background hum" seems to become even more magical and mystical. It could be that I need to expand or supplement this "scent report" upon retesting. Or when the fragrance has further developed..... I love it, already!!

Beloved Farmboy
This fragrance by Prin is once again dedicated to a love story. The one between Johnny and Gheorghe from the film "God's Own Country." Johnny Saxby is the son of a sheep farmer in Yorkshire and has to take care of the herd, the farm, and also his grandmother after his father suffers a stroke. A role that weighs heavily on him. His despair is expressed through alcohol and quick sex. A vicious cycle of alienation and decline. When the time comes for the pregnant ewes to be separated from the herd to give birth, Johnny's father, against his son's wishes, hires a Romanian migrant worker for help. Gheorghe enters the lives of the Saxbys.

Here too, "the new kid in town" faces unjustified rejection and even hostility from both Johnny and the village. However, Gheorghe is hardworking, sincere, and honest. When the two are alone with the pregnant sheep in a remote pasture, another confrontation occurs, and Johnny calls Gheorghe, not for the first time, a gypsy. In the ensuing argument, Gheorghe overwhelms Saxby and makes it clear that he feels attracted to him. The two spend the night together. Through Gheorghe, Johnny learns to allow closeness and empathy, not just in physical love. The idea also emerges to give up the unprofitable sheep farming and produce cheese instead. Johnny's grandmother learns about their relationship early on and supports them, including in the business idea. After some disappointments, caused by Johnny's nature and his inner turmoil, Gheorghe leaves the farm. Only then does Johnny realize how much he loves him. After some searching, the two find each other again and decide to spend their lives together.

The fragrance is a portrait of Gheorghe. He is not only the landscape of Yorkshire, with its peat soil and wildflowers in the meadows. He is above all hay, whisky, and tobacco. He is passion. And the scent of skin that has seen much sun, rain, and wind. He is human and yet so dreamy in his roughness that he touches deeply.

Sitting alone and silently on a stone.
Listening to the wind and taking a deep breath.

That is Gheorghe.

Initially creamy boozy-floral, a slightly smoky, complex dusty floral spicy-earthy Fall fragrance, balanced by a warm resinous-woody base.

Strawberry sweetness accompanied by boozy warmth; a dusty texture overpowers. Sugared syrup through benzion, and a slight earthy undertone.

Gheorghe is a boozy, spicy, woody and resinous fragrance with floral, smoky and earthy nuances. A complex blend of hay, tobacco and tonka.

Rather subtle and versatile, not a sharp& loud scent. An elegant resinous& dusty combination, with an almost imperceptible animalic touch

Reminds me of patchouli, beaver leather, coriander
As striking classics like BadBoy Antaeus
Green-spicy herb
Resinous coat
Base is beautifully balsamic
