Saturnalis

i remember seeing a review that mentioned mop water and wood polish; totally, but it's also burying your face in a big, pink rose. i dig it.

considering the brightness of the inspiration, this ironically reminds me of a less bright tubéreuse criminelle. more grounded & spicy.

metallic to start; licked spoon, saliva. settles to a milky, yet somehow dry, flour-y subtleness. the definition of a 'skin' scent.

(fresh) aldehydic laundry detergent. then a kind of savoury, (not fresh) sweaty, musky note rises from within. a bit discordant but settles.

canned pineapple, a little jasmine, orbiting around a big musky note that kind of brings to mind stale cigarette smoke caught on fabric.
