For my opinion
There is so much going on in the scent, I'm not entirely sure where to begin!

The star anise is coming off as a Chinese medicine shop ingredient as opposed to a spice. It's super medicinal and really REALLY dry. The orris is muted, and doesn't have that 'bubble gum' quality to it that it might usually have. The fir is also blunted, and is lacking the top, turpenic 'herbal' elements it usually had. It's quite uncanny, but the aspects each of these three ingredients are known for are all somehow 'altered', and what results is something quite dry, staid and stale, in a way.
Truly art in a bottle...
Whilst I don't particularly like this one, I have enjoyed whiffing it all afternoon. It's like nothing else I've ever tried...

Dried apricot in the spotlight, surrounded by a green and herbal forest bed, with a resinous-spicy finish. I like it!

Fruity apricot compote cooked and then ruined by way too much star anise from last year's Christmas baking.

Warmer cough syrup infused with honey-fruity notes. Brewed in the sunshine on hay.

First floor wax, then sweetly dry fruity, slightly musty earthy, tuberose in moderation leads to a spicy resinous base. Not for me.

Citrusy-fruity at the start. Then spicy, pine-needle-like. It heads towards herbal medicine, honey-like, benzoin, and ends with a bitter-mossy note.

Green-grassy, anise-fennel in the base. Citrus-candy-like, spicy. I would love this ;)
