Odd but in a good way
Not sure when I'd ever wear such a thing but get past the unpleasant rubber-starch-wood stripper notes up top, and you stumble upon the true (but hard to achieve) ambient smell of coffee grounds in the air, the volatile compounds of the freshly crushed beans mingling companionably with bursts of citrus peel and wood esters. This is all very dry and papery, but anchored by the fungal darkness of water you've just washed woodland ceps in. The anisic properties of the coffee and the sodden earthiness of the mushroom note conspire to make you think of black licorice vines or myrrh oil. And yet, Inevitable Crimes of Passion never feels wet or turgid. It achieves this high, sweet dryness and airiness that only thoughtfully-designed woodsy perfumes possess. All the heavier materials are diffused out into a spacey sound cloud that accompanies you on your day but never once threatens to choke you out or weigh you down.
