Second time returning to this decant. It was warm autumn last time, it's frozen outside now.
I don't know if this one's for me. There's nothing bad about it per se, it's just not things that excite me.
I adore rose, and while it tries it's best to fight through the other notes, it's hard to clearly identify.
I don't know what's doing it, it could be nutty notes which are too heavy and fatty, the fruity note of pear which seems to be overripe, or the insane 46% concentration making it thick and heavy, but I just find this too cloying. Not in a screechy way, just in a thick, consuming way.
I'll give it a few hours and update.
6 hours in. I still find it almost too decadent.
It's sweet and rich and heavy, but there is a creamyness with ambergris, vanilla, and woods.

It's weaker than I expected for such an extrait.
