Oh dear. I can see what Chris is trying to do. In my head evoking a spirit of Sheldrake with these, woody, spicy complex affairs but they just come off a bit second rate. I hate to say it as well because the intent was obviously to make something truly unique, and to be fair I can't attribute many direct comparisons to Danse Sauvage. If I'm honest as well, I really liked/borderline loved it when I first sprayed it, heavy incense, woody, spicy, fruity, boozy, kinda that plummy cedar note spiked with cinnamon and hot, peppery spices. But goes from boozy to a bit....well, woozy. Which is never good. The problem for me is a fundamental one, I don't really like wearing this for any longer than a few minutes, not only does the novelty wear off but it kinda starts to grate on me. It's well made and blended by a good perfumer and I mentioned is at least trying to innovate which should be praised for really. It doesn't commit the cardinal sin of drying down to just smelling of IES, Amboxan, woody ambers, it largely carries the whole vibe into the drydown, but perhaps getting sweeter if a little more rounded. I can't pretend I like it as much as on paper I might read this review and think it sounds up my street, but that's the magic and mystery of perfumery huh? For me a perfume has to be an enjoyable wear and has to connect, and this sadly isn't and doesn't with me.
