A babbling brook
Ivy is underrated note and it’s featured well here with galbanum and wet leaves. The opening is a fresh green stream, some faint crocuses of early spring that starts to sing and….disappears into light pencil shavings (the wood here has a hint of graphite, perhaps the “rock” alluded to in the name).
And then it’s over in an hour.
If it was bolder and made more of a statement before all hints of foliage vanished I could forgive it more. But it’s frustratingly just a “nice” ivy scent that has no idea what to do before it gives up altogether.
