Well described, but the rose wouldn't calm me down :D

Sounds pretty great, but I'm more with @Brida on this one.

@Eggi37 No, I didn't get that from it. More like a scent with light and shadow.

Nice to see you feel the same way. Does that mean the scent isn't well-rounded or is it intended that way?

@Eggi37 actually, that’s a pretty good description of the scent. I felt the same way… Often there was something I didn’t like at all, and then suddenly the fragrance became quite pleasant again.

I couldn't quite figure out the scent. I really liked some phases, while others I didn't care for much.

Hmm, that's interesting. I'm undecided...

I don't think it's a must-have for me :)

Doesn't sound so well-rounded.

A slightly sharp opening, possibly from beaver, oud, and artemisia.

The opening isn't great, but I like the development.

I only like rose in a fragrance when I don't notice it.

Vinegar-rose sounds awful to me...

Translated · Show original

Eggi37 2 years ago

Actually, I had something that smelled like vinegar, but apparently the rose isn't supposed to smell like vinegar.

Sounds tempting to try! And the bottle, along with the beeswax stone on top, definitely piques my curiosity.

Your lack of enthusiasm is contagious here too. At least it doesn’t seem boring.

I wasn't bored here at all :-)

That sounds a bit clunky.

Aside from the sour note, it sounds good to me. Personally, I always prefer when these very leathery scents have a bright contrast, because just smoky/leathery, which some people like, would be too monotonous for me, with floral or green notes.

The opening is a bit too sharp for me. However, it becomes milder and more pleasant as it develops.

That sounds too heavy and oud-heavy for me.

Translated · Show original

Eggi37 2 years ago

I have more beaver than oud. Later it smells like warm skin.

Thanks to the beeswax, it stays dry despite the castoreum, oud, hay, and tobacco. These, in turn, soften the sweetness. The wax layer rounds it off gently. The leather is quite green, thanks to the green notes and green tuberose. Oud and castoreum create a symbiosis, working together to give a rough and dark vibe. The floral notes, on the other hand, bring a lightness. Notes like castoreum and beeswax usually have a hard time with me, but this isn't bad.
Big thanks to Matze8338 for the opportunity to test it!
