Tragedy is such a funny name for this, especially when someone asks what perfume you're wearing.
Brand new bottle, testing on skin.
Opens very dry and bitter. It's reminding me of the leathery oakmoss tobacco in Quorum. This first blast is really quite strong.
Very old school masculine.
Loses intensity as it dries down, vanilla and dark chocolate very smoothly and slowly rise out of the top notes now and drift into the scent bubble. Powdery and semi-sweet, this is a really interesting counterbalance to the top notes.
On skin, those Quorum-esque masculine top notes linger a good way past the chocolatey vanilla scent bubble stage, and slowly get replaced with tonka till they disappear all together.
The top notes last (subtly) for far, far longer on clothing. As is, I recommend spraying clothing too.
At 90 minutes, this is resinous tonka bean on skin and the bubble has sweetened and is kinda reminding me of a slightly darker Choco-Musk.
This still leans masculine in the modern sense as the tonka is quite resinous, but classically (pre-2000's style) this is feminine and ngl, the leathery tobacco top notes still on my clothing, mingling with all the tonka on my skin- is strongly reminding me of the glamorous aunties from my childhood. They all smoked and gave bony hugs that smelled just like this.
At 3 hours of wear, this is a faint tonka skin scent with an intimate low sillage bubble of choco-musk, and my clothes smell kinda chypre-ous with a woody cigarette like oakmoss.
Edit: it's about 12h after I sprayed this on and I can still smell it on my clothes if I'm moving. It's masculine, woody and a little chocolate powdery.
