I get very green and a little powder. Good level of complexity, but doesn‘t rise to the level of great for me. I’d like more floral balance or more dedication to green spice.
One of the most complex things I've smelled in ages, the notes seem to have effected the fabric of the space-time continuum and are running out of order. By that I mean I'm experiencing green, sharp, resinous, galabnum notes right in the heart of this perfume evoking French Lover by Malle. YES!!!! IT DOES. Enough about that though the opening is unlike any cacao I've smelled but is that of orris butter or resinoid, giving a mixture between, chocolate, sweet, powdery, leather and carrot notes. Then it becomes cloaked with a peppery Virginain cedar note which grows and grows (reminds me a little of natural base from PCW called cedar/iris funnily enough) then as all this is going off the galbanum I mentioned above starts to pop, then all bets are off!!! Leave it on your skin for several hours and you'll be treated to the dirtied, vanillic base, which is long lasting and subtly beautiful but modern. What a fragrance! Absolute tour de force. I want to buy it. I think I need it in my life.
The opening spray released something akin to a decrepit lightning bolt locked in a dusty crypt. Sharp, electric decay, musty current, moth-eaten voltage. Then...a bit of shadowy aromatic lycanthropy...a phantasmagoric zoetrope, a being resembling a Maria Germanova-type, shapeshifting through theatrical roles, a noble lady draped in jewels, a swaggering pirate, a beggar woman cloaked in rags, an avant-garde fairy in Stanislavski’s embodiment of The Blue Bird" by Maurice Maeterlinck. Ghostly photographs, the specters haunting antique cartes de visite. At turns, powdery, leathery, metallic, vegetal, austere, sophisticated. Moscow Art Theatre witch-queen caught mid-transformation, glamorous and gloomy, enigmatic and a bit unsettling.
