Cheap and cheerful
I'm an edgelord at heart, and so absolutely love the packaging of this thing. The box. The silly bottle with the skull. The neon green. All so delightful and trashy.
Unto the actual perfume which has a rare combo of already not common notes (cannabis and star anise).
This opens up to well, weed, which turns out goes well with mandarin. Its shockingly strong though the weed does get toned down a lot into somehing more generically medicinal and almost alcoholic, with noticable sweetness from the anise. Like absinthe or anise candies.
Its unusual and kind of radioactive, but the more I wear it the more I like it to the point where I debate getting the 100ml bottle.
But this is absolutely an edgelord perfume even if a pretty well done one, and I'd never wear this stuff anywhere remotely formal, but it'll be amazing for a nightclub.
So if the vibe of the bottle sparks joy you might also enjoy the scent, but if not its very unlikely to suddenly win you over.

...Orange?
Got this from a relative along with another SAEM perfume.
Opens as tangerine and ginger, very bright, sweet, and sparkly. Dries subtly sweet as well, but with the amber/musk/jasmine/lavender combining into some kind of funky note that gives these little satchets with patchouli/dried flowers you put in closets, specifically the kind with orange rind, but not baltantly so - Its not the satchets themselves, but a nice wool sweater that was stored with them for awhile.
Its very nostalgic for me, and instantly makes me think of so many small but fancy secondhand stores and cafes (often both at the same time).
I like it in winter and autumn. Its a very "warm/soft" scent and I absolutely can't see it working in summer.

Finishing a bottle of this now
I got it from a relative and have no idea where she originally got it, but might as well review it because its quite nice, starting with citrus/blackberry that mixes in with bay leaf before fading into soft, barely-there, wood notes.
Just really pleasant but not groundbreaking, yet I kept returning to it and nearly finished the bottle by now. Something about the blackberry/bay leaf combo really hits the spot in spring or summer without getting overly sweet or cloying?
I'm not gonna buy a new one since its not worth the shipping, but it was fun while it lasted.

Smells like pinecones
Also forest after rain with hints of ink and a certain almost misty quality to it. I definetly get some soil and roots as well but in a very clean way.
I've seen a review somewhere comparing it to the cinematography of twilight and that's probably the most spot on description of it. I don't think its very dark or masculine at all, but rather absolutely unisex.
I love it, but if you prefer more perfume-y or sweet perfumes you might not, since your feelings towards it will depend on how you feel about the actual scents it evokes. Because this makes zero attempts to soften them.
Lasts shockingly long - I sprayed it while wearing a scarf, and more than a week later the scarf still smelled like it.
