Sure Gigi7891, if the yellow liquid in Grandma's dusty old bottles is her own fetid PISS then fine, I'm swept away by your imagery. I'm not a massive fan of this type of perfume but I know that JJ is (also see below reviews) and it's not a total mystery to me why much more hardcore perfumistas than myself, love this kinda shit! I genuinely wish it was a taste I could acquire in my more mature years, like stinking bishop cheese or very, very, very, peaty Scotch but it's fucking gross, so why would I? haha. Miel de Sois might be a crude comparison (again for experts in this type of stuff) but I got that immediately, I was like ahhh this is like that Serge Lutens which, smells of piss. It's that resinous, honey effect and hyper woodiness which comes off to me as a park bench seeped in a dehydrated person's, nut brown, urine! Okay so I get that honey and beeswax can be changeable in smell, flavour, look etc.... due to the very nature of the way they're produced, and not that I'm suggesting perfume is collections of unadultered (or indeed even contains) natural materials, but this 'beeswax' perfume falacy seems to persist. Okay perhaps I haven't smelled all the different types and origins of beeswax but I got into making leather goods over the pandemic (long story) and the process involved lots of beewax and I ADORE the smell. It's much more cozy and haylike, almost gourmand and my reference beeswax perfume.is Hiram Green's Slowdive. This also has somewhat herbal qualities, and that bready, wheaty thing about it, and as it settles to skin it's much less offensive than the opening hour, just not really a direction I'm too interested in.
