Worth the second sniff

I was about to write this scent off as it has similar profile to some of my favorite chypres, reminisces to Northern Cardinal and Civet by Zoologist. To me this is an apothecary attic containing hanging dried citrus, with grandmas vintage makeup and perfume bottles.
Very beautiful citrus and civet combo with incredible complexity. Very beautiful and will keep in mind for September and August weather. Elements of flora, sunshine, and a cannabis type of growl.
Smells like the month of September in New England.

Smooth, sensuous and mesmerizing

Upon first decant, I did not enjoy this fragrance. I was new to the chypre scent profile, and it took me a while to truly enjoy it. I came back after a month or so to test it once again and surprisingly enjoyed the complexity of it. There's certainly a difference between smelling it over a paper blotter versus on your skin and goodness, it really develops over my skin.

I would describe this perfume as alluring, almost as if it's drawing you in, and awaiting your attention. There are no sharp notes. It's an elegant, mossy patchouli, tinged with a light uplifting tinge of sweetness, brightened up by the floral notes and made creamy by the vanilla, butter, and sandalwood.

The bottle is good enough. I would only suggest that the bottle cap feel more sound or have that magnetic option to give it that high end feel.

Absolutely love this perfume!

Last Summer..

In Mediterranean glittering blue
radiant sun glow,
under colorful parasols
flowers conjure unabashedly
(buttery brushes of an iris shower)
fruit surprises from the hat.

Distracted by such magic
relaxed in false security,
summer heaviness meets laissez-faire -
sharpness was yesterday:
Abduction! What a tragedy!
Perpetrators - unknown!

Rushing over high cliffs
the winds of the car ambrosia blow.
Spicy, the sultry breath of jasmine
comes in the form of cold smoke
on labdanum's lip edges
like the virgin to the child.

At the destination, vanilla velvet concealed,
abducted on sandalwood yacht,
brass-moss motors resonate
in moonlit ears,
losing the last trace...

incense curls through the night.
