Upon first spray this comes across a little leafy but predominantly like dry granulated brown sugar, texture and all; not particularly sweet but very much like the small but rough crystals you find with it. This texture fades and it moves into the artemisia much more strongly as an earthy slightly dirty undergrowth but very fresh and still quite dry, like an unfinished terrarium or enclosure where the climate control hasn't been turned on yet. There's a faint scent in the background that reminds me of the scent of the enclosure you might find in a friends house as a kid that probably hadn't been cleaned out, the scent that comes from the feces but doesn't smell faecal. Although this is quite faint.
The lavender is present strongly throughout but it doesn't really get processed as lavender until you think of it as such.
This is one that should be smelt before looking at the notes as they definitely subtract from it, it's well enough blended that it maintains a roughness that is ruined when you seek out what is in it.
Not a black serpent but a green one, in a household enclosure not the wild.
Not particularly challenging so it probably is blind buy safe, you just might not wear it much.
For a skinnier guy in a warmer climate, think (and this isn't because of the name) Mr.Greene in Quantum of Solace.
