Masculine, spicy vanilla with a sauna-like smokiness. I LOVE this. Great performance as well.
I'd seen this popping up all over the place and getting a good write up. Also I dig the kinda artisan look of the bottles and the cut n paste artwork on the label. Anyway the scents themselves have been a bit of a disappointment so far but loaded with imagination and creativity. What puts me off is the hippy, dirtyish base they seem to possess, that's three of them now with what I describe as the 'sugar paper' note, very woody and with a hint of patchouli dirt and deep resin, seems to be a theme in Cobra/Canary and City on fire. This is undoubtedly my favourite of the ones I've tried so far though. This should be a big favourite with me judging by the notes This juice has an uncompromising tar like guaiac wood dominance which is evident immediately. I kinda don't like the opening... I got a dark chocolate with jelly sweets vibe when first sprayed the kind of polar opposite juxtaposition which instantly reminds me of some 4160 Tuesdays creations. I think the vanilla is playing tricks in the opening sweetening up the resin in an other wise smokey and uber woody affair. A stonking resinous, medicinal, myrrh note is there throughout but works well with the gritty, wet clay feel and ambrette. Drydown is lovely, long and actually projects in a mellow way, I just can't help but love guaiac wood, benzoin, myrrh and vanilla in combination it's right up my street. I will say one minor criticism, I don't think Memoirs of a Trespasser is very refined composition wise and there's many more scents I would rather purchase before it...but it's pretty nice and at least it isn't boring, worth checking out for sure.
I wore this when it first came out and loved it. Recently revisited and realized I’ve discovered more interesting leather & wood scents. Still good, but not as striking as some other IA scents
