   |  Wow! This is one weird ride. The opening is a bruising smoke/wood/booze accord that'll curl your nose hairs for sure. Super.This is joined almost immediately by a sour, stinging note that I can best describe as boiling vinegar. Ever accidentally inhaled the steam from boiling vinegar? If you have, you'll know exactly what I'm talking about. If not, it's nothing I suggest you try at home. Over time the the booze subsides, and the smoke and woods blend into a rich leather accord. To my great disappointment, the vinegar steam note persists as well, effectively ruining the whole experience for me. Close. Very close. A promising scent that was ruined for me by one discordant note. 19 June 2009 |
 | Another scent that smells like pickled pimientos to me. It opens with that vinegar and spice accord and stays, and stays, and stays. I can't wash this off my skin. I love spice, but I cant take this. These aren't fresh spices. They are old spices sitting in the kitchen cupboard for too long. Whilke I respect the opinions of those that see the complexity in thios, it just doesn't work for me! 03 April 2009 |
  | I took a tiny swipe from a sample vial 16 hours ago. One bath, one shower and a night in bed later and this is still pumping out unwelcome sillage. The smokey woody aroma chemical is so strong that I cannot even imagine enjoying the lack of craft and subtlety in the selection of materials and composition. Utterly without merit for me, it seems to have little complexity of evolution, little reference to naturalness in composition and be intensely synthetic in its smell. To me, this belongs with the lowest level of cheap modern fragrances and indicates the depths the so-called niche brands can stoop to under the cloak of a fancy box and a high price. 10 March 2009 |
