The reviews below mine do a great job of summing up the notes. But, let's talk about the vibe. Very sensual, warm, loving, slightly dirty, slightly spicy incense, but a very human creation. Seriously hands down one the best fragrances I've come across on my perfume journey.

I only have tried the sample and the sprayer sort of sucks so the juice comes out all squirty like. You guys know what I'm talking about. So the fragrance sits a little lower on the skin, smoldering. However, she sings when it heats up. You get this cocoa and salty ambergris wafting as you move about. Truly a mesmerizing scent and that's with a sucky sprayer!! However, still get the Eris sample set bc the whole line is STUNNING with a capital G. They give you $45 off your purchase of a full bottle, hard to turn that down. Great prices on Eris frags you guys.

The issue I'm having is getting Mx or Mxxx. I love them both. Mx feels like I would wear it more, and Mxxx feels deeply personal. We shall see.

Truly great work from Barbara and Antoine on this collaboration.

You're on a hayride traveling through a dry meadow in early summer and someone ahead lit a cigarette and you caught a whiff downwind. What makes this scent so special is the addition of a light dusting of vanilla, the choice of florals, on a dry hay accord. For under $100 it's an amazing buy and I own nothing like Erawan in my collection.

Stoked to try Issara and Anamcara next from Dusita

Liis Bo opens with a woody toasted marshmallow like smoke. Resins, incense and tobacco? The scent transitions to these harmonious woods, cedar and gaiac. With vanilla wafting around, it could go gourmand, but the incense and resins restrain. Bo slowly warms but always remains slightly resinous, woody and vanilla.

Performance is great. Great for layering. Easy scent to wear any time any season.

The only thing interesting about this scent is the vanilla play-dough opening. Then it becomes a nondescript poof of nothingness. Lifeless and utterly boring. Want to smell like you flew through a cloud of synthetic scents pumped into the atmosphere above Gotham city? That actually sounds wayyy more interesting than this scent. It smells ok. Just WTF is it?

You smell lovely natural pine, cool clean bight juniper while hiking. You pass through a meadow with soft floral's and you marvel at how wonderful the air feels. It's cool and you feel cozy in your cashmere sweater. Your natural smell is sweet and elevated from the hike. Here is a good spot to stop and rest, perhaps make some tea.

11/10

I'm so glad this scent found its way to me. Truly.
