Mythical Creature
This immediately felt like i was in a Millais painting, in the middle of nature with the all the nymphs. Green grandure, dense earthyness with a sweet resin/balsamic quality. It's beautifull and complex in a vintage way (i thought of poetic chaos, like a british style garden), not an easy fragrance or not for an easy person, only when you are feeling like a mythical creature.
Intriguing
The first sniff, i got the patchouli but mixed with something intriguing (maybe the pimento or rhubard) and after the warmth starts to peak more and more as it dries down.
It's sharp and the patchouli dominates but it's also very comforting and versatile, in my opinion. I can see any gender and any season but the first image i got was a mysterious woman wearing a voluminous kaftan in a riad.

The Beach and Mountains
Boring was the word i thought when i sprayed it on my wrist but it showed me wrong. Endlessly aromatic and bitter woods but grounded warm earthyness on it's base, with minty barbershop type of scent as it dries down.
It's familiar in an unsettling way and it reminds me of a summer night on a calm beach with the mountains behind.
Not groundbreaking but it is very appealing, especially for someone that doesn't like cologne but wants a perfume to wear during those hot months.
I guess you can't judge a book by it's cover.

Barn Couture
The dirtiest of the line. It's very dry and unsweetened, smoky but still warm. Unfortunately it leans a bit too much on the fecal side of the animalic scents and makes me think of a goat barn (my grandfather had one so i know how it smells). Not on my wish list but it's still a very nice experience.
Animalic Makeup
The cleanest of the trio but still with that dirty and mellow animalic touch in the back, meshed with roses and powdery in a make up way, that become more and more evident and sweet as it dries. Unisex to me but leaning on the feminine side. Not the first choice for myself but i love smelling this on anyone.
