A Surprising Win For Dossier
To preface this I have to reveal my bias: I hold a healthy amount of contempt for MGK, and Dossier has been a house I have sampled a few times at the store and found them all to be aggressively "okay." So why did I buy this? Admittedly I purchased a bottle on complete accident; terrible phone service is the bane of my existence. By the time I caught that I accidentally bought it and my cancel order didn't go through, it was too late to refund it as it somehow was already shipped out within the hour I made the order. So kudos to them for a fast shipping experience.
Anywho, now that that is out of the way, how does this collaboration actually smell? Knowing MGK it should smell like musty, moldy weed or something to that effect. Instead, what I was greeted with upon spraying was a surprisingly inviting, interesting, and beautiful incense, earthy, nutty scent.
A peppery incense lingers in the first ten minutes accompanied by a comforting sweetness; must be the nutty notes boosted by patchouli. After that initial spray, it evolves. The spices become more prominent, and that Vetiver-suede combo starts to stand out.
It's a trifecta of Earthy-sweet-spicy, and it's deeply cohesive despite being from a house that I have so easily discarded in the past. This scent makes me imagine a vagabond roaming the American Southwest in their 1990s Ford Ranger. They're a bit rough on the surface, almost standoffish, but once you get to know them they're one of the sweetest people you'll meet under the desert sun.

And maybe the way u described the fragrance there at the end, is a perfect description of why u shouldn't hold so much contempt for a person you don't know. Because like you said they're a bit rough on the surface, standoff'ish, but once u get to know them. They're one if the sweetest people you'll meet under the sun
