Jasper no Kodō II
Folkwinds

Camp Summerland
Folkwinds

Short stint of sweet-creamy blackberry in the top. Mainly a poorly-blended oud fragrance w/ nuances of paint thinner and FW's signature DNA.

Non-descript creamy-sweet fruitiness opposed by powdery-spicy iris and a very synthetic musk-green note combo. Very light, indie nightmare.

Woody-coniferous top w/ medicinal touches & sweetness. Dries woody w/ resinous spices and I'd say Sri Lankan oud. Great performance.

Fruity-floral with a spicy-woody base. Non-descript fruity notes, patchouli & iris versus cedar & pink pepper. Generic for €410/50ml imo.

Classic-smelling iris/orris vs. soapy lily/jasmine & other mixed florals (ylang-ylang to sweeten). Closer to vintage Amouage than Diaghilev.

Floral-fresh-green somewhat artistic open. Not really rose imo - rather white florals, green leaves, musk, soapy/clean. Very light though.
