A difficult opening with a lot to think about. I'm thinking gourmand, soil, spicey, minty, sour port or heavy wine, liquorice, peach, headache coming on, familiar dirty patchouli, possibly a bit of cherry, oh yeah, there are the aldehydes, headache getting worse, glad I didn't spray this on my skin and I only bought 10ml. Undeniably a quality perfume, but one that belongs in a different era, perhaps even a different world. After half an hour the dry down starts to get delicious and warm, but it's too much for me during those 30 mins. It's like the single, 50s aunt at a wedding who wears a screaming-loud ensemble with an attention-seeking hat, before mellowing out as the day, and the drinking, goes on. I'm glad I have a little bit now it's finished but I can't see myself wearing it.
