On inititial spray I get a heavy projecting, dark, caramelized, buttery and rooty orris with patchoulol undertones and a musky and soily edge, love it
Then comes the tobacco, not your typical resinous sweet latino cigar one: it reminds me a lot of italian “Toscano”, so like a naturally fermented Kentucky one. Yes, this perfume has a lot of added sweetness but it does not come directly from the tobacco in my opinion. The drydown consists of a very soft, sweet and warm musky-viet oud tandem.
NFU reminded me a bit of Iris ghalia in the opening, sharing the musk and the orris, even to these two perfumes take totally different roads. Put it this way, iris ghalia to my nose smells like elegance, decadence, nobilty but also coldness. Notes from Underground smells like sexyness, wilderness, warmness and has a unique London gentlemen’s clubs vibe to it. Don't sleep on this release
