Obviously good with clealy flaws

As a wood lover, I was very much looking forward to testing Abîme. The experience was interesting, and unexpected. The scent opens with a sweet and spicy wood smell, and somehow contains a trace of animalic offness. Soon a plant note (probably Elemi) uplifts the experience with a little kinky flavor. Then the scent leaves the stage almost entirely to cedar and sandalwood. Have to say, cedar is not my favorite note. The smell in this stage feels a little dull and boring. Luckily, the scent eventually evolves into a slight sweet woody scent that I like very much.

The experience with Abîme is a little mixed, but overall positive. I thoroughly enjoyed its lively opening, and cozy and intimate ending, but find the lackluster second stage hard to forgive.
