The fig leaves probably wouldn't be my thing.

Sounds interesting at least and not like one of those creamy sandalwood scents (which are really annoying me right now...)

I thought it was okay, but nothing more. For me, it was more like creamy fig milk, and that's not really my thing... Great picture though ; )

Interesting, because I didn't notice anything from that one at all 😁

Very interesting scent combination. However, too much cumin makes me feel sick.

That one would probably fail miserably for me, with fig, sandalwood, and cumin-three notes I usually avoid. ;)

Then it will probably be too rough for you ;-)

The pepper-spitting thing is a funny image :-)

I would agree with @Seejungfrau on that.

If there's a pepper-spitting volcano involved, I wouldn't be opposed.

Sounds really cool, but linear scents usually aren't that exciting...

I found it quite interesting. It's exciting to read your description below.

I didn't mind the rough, slightly dark scent either, but unfortunately, it hardly changes.

During colonization, Europeans discovered a large stock of sandalwood in the island nation of Vanuatu and expanded it to enter into trade with China.
And sandalwood is also the main feature of the fragrance here, supported by violet and black pepper, which are meant to reflect the scent of the country's volcanoes.
Subtle, dark, woody, and spicy, the fragrance has a linear progression.
Unfortunately, the wow factor is missing.
Thanks to Juliabroe for the opportunity to test it.
