7.5 is pretty good for me, and 8 is definitely -I want to buy-
You can basically see everything I rate as 1 point higher, because I'm just not an overly enthusiastic reviewer ;D
A real treat for vintage & chypre fans!
Sage & elemi come across beautifully fresh & balsamic. The creamy fir balsam & musk make it even smoother, and you can feel them right away.
The flowers are also a big part of this fragrance and are intricately woven in. For me, they, along with the noticeable oakmoss, give it a chypre vibe. Plus, there's a bit of bitterness & herbal notes-I'm guessing garden clove, wormwood & tobacco-which doesn't bother me.
I think it could be fresher & less creamy-sweet, but I still find it really beautifully natural & vintage.
Thanks to Oudster for the testing opportunity!
