A challenging, astringent, cologney perfume
I blind bought this and knew I was taking a 50/50 gamble since I like vetiver and elemi, but there were some interesting notes in the rest of this. The opening really encompasses the sour, pungent citrus smell, then it descends into a super astringent version of Debaser by DS + Durga that is much more of a cologne than a perfume. It smells like spiced aftershave. I actually had to scrub this off my hand, that's how strong and unpleasant it was on my skin. It was better on the strip, but not very wearable. I think the cardamom and cumin in this, on top of the really sharp, abrasive patchouli and cedarwood combination really made this a no go for me. Without them, I think it would have less of that overbearing vibe. I could definitely see some people I know wearing this very successfully, though. I think this is a tough one and is easily an unlikeable fragrance, but it definitely is interesting. Glad I tried it.
