It’s very difficult to convey my feelings about this perfume because they are so disparate but to use the cliché ‘love/hate’ is an understatement. The negatives are that I couldn’t wear Gaea, and not due to the honey notes which I actually think are very nice in this big, bold, authentic context against the atomic fruity note in here. It’s that syrupy, hyper pineapple smell of chewy, fruit salad bars (or something?) which eventually settles and subsides to a degree but still makes it a big no no for me. Now the positives are that I did say wow! When I first sprayed it because from a technical & originality aspect it’s instantly arresting, bold, and makes a big statement with a few olfactory ideas being conveyed simultaneously and feels like a layered composition instead of a thundering great Indy lump. As I mentioned Gaea does become cloying (to my tastes) shortly after but all the while I can feel the base, the green undergrowth slowly creeping into the fruity/honied vibes adding a naturalist layer. The best thing is the base, wait for it to settle right down and that’s where the rewards are waiting to be found it’s rare that you actually smell ambergris in perfume, it’s more of a fixative or exalting agent which improves ANY composition whether you overtly smell it or not. Here you do though, vague buttery, animalic saliva, breath on warm skin. It’s ultimately not for me but very, very interesting indeed, I’m curious to know what mixture of materials Peter used to create the fruity accord in here? It’s very potent to begin with but settles down quite mellow (thankfully) and long lasting Update: That vague animalic ambergris becomes marginally more skanky and shades of the civet replacer and dirtier element of ambergris that is for the most part completely shrouded in the fruity, honied opening and majority of the wearing experience.
