Hard to find, and even harder to describe!
If I had to use a two-word description, it would be "sweet wood."

Living in the USA, it is difficult to get my hands on Aaron Terence Hughes fragrances, but every now and then I find one while searching online.

Luckily, I was able to get a 10ml bottle of this one (which is no longer availableon his site). The fragrance is different from his other ones that I own, which include Hard Candy Elixir, Red Fever, Fever v.2, and Hombre. This one reminds me of the smell of the soft wood from a fallen tree that has been sitting in the forest for some time. It is earthy yet sweet, as if the wood was infused with some sort of sweetness. I wouldn't consider it a mass-appealing fragrance because it's so different, but it's definitely one that you go back to sniff again because there's something alluring about it. It has the same alluring quality that I find in Oud For Greatness.

Love it or hate it
It's a rather strange fragrance, and I can't quite figure out what Aaron wanted to translate from it.

Basically, it's a perfume that has an opening with olibanum resin that's very pronounced, and it's going to be coupled with cypress and vanilla.

Then the resin fades a little and gives way to wood. The base is clean, but I'm having trouble understanding the notes because they don't really stand out for me.

So you either love this powerful Cypress and Olibanum side or you hate it.

A unique and warming blend of resins and woods with the right amount of citric panache. A nose tickler that I am quite pleased by.

Extremely resinous Oriental incense on a dark wooden base.
Deductions for the exhausting opening that reminds me of pee smell in a nursing home.
