Metaphysical

Less sharp than expected (The Muse is sharper). Smells clean and soft, more like laundry softener than detergent. Pleasantly clean.

An iris profile that does not smell familiar. Very intruiging spicy (pimento, pink pepper) with dusty suede and iris. Beautiful!

This is both sweet (violet) and bitter (dark chocolate). Unique, I never smelled anything like this. Cacao Porcelana is less sweet.

This is indeed not a sweet gourmand: it's bitter and dark cacao. I think patchouli adds to the bitter/dark profile alot. Very woody drydown.

Less animalic than expected (from narcissus + hay), quite soft actually. Pear is dominant in opening. Ginger quite apparant in drydown.
