Nice opening full of contrasts - gooey honey, rubbery saffron vs cold, minty patchouli & oily leather. Permeating medicinal, smoky feeling.

Awesome, I am glad you got to try this. Been curious about you guys' opinions, and I am very obviously wrong about thinking this was "The Funk" you guys love so much. Lol.

@Ezroni hmm, it does have some elements that could be labeled as funky (mostly the medicinal vibe from honey-saffron) but overall, sweetness and wearability take precedence. I'm not saying that's a bad thing, a perfume should be easy to wear and enjoyable first and foremost.
With the exception of Rhinoceros, brands like Zoologist and Wolf Brothers don't offer any funk. Which is understandable - they need to make money.

@CivetOnly sounds like… a symphony of contrasts

@Longevity hmm, leather accord is kinda half-assed. Medicinal honey plays an imporant role here, much like vanilla does in Falcon Extrait. Neither of those commit to a fully-fledged oily leather as much as Fuel0987 does.

@CivetOnly where did it lose points for you?

@Longevity indeed, I think you should try it since birch and starlito bloom on your skin.
Interesting to throw honey into an earthy, smoky mix, can’t say that I dislike it.

Was curious about this before, but how prominent is saffron? I don’t think I’m the biggest fan of it

@MrIDK not very prominent. There's def some spiciness, but it's an underlying factor that accentuates amber and leather accords (medicinal, rubbery).
I think it also manages to keep the honey at bay (no winnie the pooh incident).
