Woaah Nellie!!! The opening has a tart fruity sweetness and a warmth like a musk perfume but as a top note (which is strange anyway but stranger, considering what happens next) Anyway this initial smell is mental but it lasts about as long as a super heavy ion or Higgs particle or something? It really is gone almost as quickly a you perceive it. Then comes a really insanely earthy note. Just, just on the cusp of being too much geosmin (or similar) it's certainly what I would consider and overdose. At first it is a beetroot effect but as it wears on, it's a bit much for me. However, it peaks around the 20min mark and settles in to a nice, mineral, earthy, accord. Is it really beetroot though? I often think it's hard to capture the vegetal, carroty, bloody sweetness, because beetroot is earthy but it's not entirely so. I think QB has done a good job at making a series of vegetal, modern, seemingly simple perfumes here. I'm personally not bowled over by this one, it's okay y'know.
