Like you left it on the stove just a touch too long and it's a little bit burnt. The caramel note comes out more on the dry-down it's not really sweet or chewy like honey, much more of a homemade caramel. The mint is doing really interesting things here - I wasn't sure how it would fit, but it's giving everything an airy, breezy lift that's working nicely. Mostly getting a sort of brownish skin musk, just a touch leathery (very very faint leather, like a worn watch band). This is another mellow, your-own-skin-but-better scents. But from further away and at a casual sniff, all I get is celery. Is that a celery note I detect? Don't do this to me, Incubus.ĭry: With my nose next to my wrist I can separate out that what I'm smelling is a gorgeous, complex caramel-musk and a many-layered mint. After a moment the sage comes up, rounding it out with herbal, earthy goodness. I can see why this is 'masculine,' it does have a very sophisticated and unusual cologne-ish vibe to it, but certainly not enough to make it unwearable for a woman. Wet: Sweet caramel, bright nicotania and sexy white musk! Mint is just underneath, backing it all without taking over. If it stays like this I'm going to be in looooove. I'm getting a very soft floral that must be the nicotania, but no powdery stinky heavy black musk, thank heavens. Totally unique, totally different from the usual note combos, and I really like it! It smells like sweet, sugared, clean sweat in a deep forest. different that what I thought it would be! It's a soft caramel overlaid with white musk and the strong green touches of sage and mint. I love everything in this one except the black musk- oh, and caramel is iffy.

Spectral white musk and the heart-stopping chill of sheared mint, fanned by caramel-touched body heat, and the diabolical sensuality of black musk, nicotiana, and sage.
