Am I losing my mind here? After the initial opening swirling bit from some citrus perhaps? I get a massive hit of star anise. This is the most prominent ANISEED smell I've encountered and I for one love it! As it settles down No.14 becomes more herbaceous and that strong note seems to split into clary sage and taragon with a hint of violet leaf. It's an odd fragrance I must say but beautifully conceived the main thing about it is the woody Guaic and that herbal quality...I really really like it. There had to be a downside though and unfortunately it is that this fragrance is pathetically short lived on my skin, I mean it's a joke! I thought No.4 was bad but I can forgive it a little for being a citrus but even that lasts longer and projects better than No.14...such a shame.
