I'm left scratching my head about the 'reminds me of' section here, but that's why it's an opinion and it's also not called 'smells like' because to it's credit I don't think this directly smells like anything else. However, that's not to say it's good because I'm more than disappointed with it, I'm pretty mortified if the truth be told. While the composition itself has unique nuances, it comes from a genre I like to call, '...loud shouty incense, smashed together with vanilla and or tonka.' The opening is quite nice, sweet, spicy smoked, resinous but that vanillic aspect starts to grow and the whole thing just grates on me, personally. I can take good things from it, I do like these kind of modern resin perfumes but I just can't seem to wear them without being fatigued and this hits a really sore, pitchy note, almost immediately. The tenacity is INSANE!!! Especially for a Penhaligons and they do take some stick for this line being a bit weak in that department. The caps and packaging generally on these are cool, and if the brand can maintain it's sales to Joe Bloggs through releasing in this signature line then fine, but perfume lovers (certainly me and others I talk to) want and expect a bit more. I think the classic/legacy fragrances from Penhaligon's are much better, but that's not to say there aren't a couple of creative ones in this collection.
