Fruity Kocatah Dax—Tin Lid.
Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous. Spray lightly if you don’t want to make a statement; it’s not subtle. I’m glad there’s only one specialized wood note here, so I can explore its range. To me, gaiac wood smells like tobacco, campfire smoke, and pine tar. I understand why others are turned off by wood tar and like notes, but as someone who grew up greasing their mother’s scalp, it’s aromatherapy to me. Wandering Star is sweet from the top down, but pear gives the first phase a distinctly fruity dimension. In truth, it doesn’t read as pear. You just get the sense that there is a non-citrus fruit in here because the smoky, woody notes have a pleasantly jammy tint. I am not sure where things shifted—"shifted” not progressed, there’s no progression here—but they did. The dry down leads with vanillic white musk. Cashmere and ISO E serve a more atmospheric purpose, lending the musk a cozy, creamy texture. If you liked Herod, you’ll enjoy this.
