A rare miss for me from Mr Bird. I just don't think it's a very good perfume. It doesn't excite me the same way even the most 'by the numbers' citrus fragrance from ROJA. It's opening smells a bit artisan, a bit, amateur. Sorry. Coincidentally I think it's a very nice opening in the sense of a resinous labdanum and citrus combination, it's balmy and mildly animalic almost myrrhesque? This doesn't last long (smelling that way anyway) and it's strange that it would manifest effectively as a top note. Curious that labdanum is not listed and it's softened with sweet vanillic accord tinged with coconut. Hate to moan about the name, but there's really no Danger here. When dried down It smells like a nutty sandalwood accord with the warmth of 'hot iron' in there also dryness of woody AC's. It smells like a much better version of me attempting to make a big amber perfume like a Shalimar crossed with trying to do a sandalwood like a Jicky, Samsara or mouchoir de monsieur. It's passable, but doesn't float my boat or particularly interest me.
