yeah, ANOTHER Lutens post from me, ok, ok... Ê
Ê (I like stuff by other houses too, I swear!) I've had a decant of this for quite a while and never really liked it, thinking it was too dry and bitter and just kind of weird. ÊWell, my taste has been slowly evolving since I started this hobby and checking on this board about a year ago. ÊI just got Chene, which I love, which shares some similar characteristics with this, notably the woods, dryness, and bitter quality, although they don't smell alike at all. ÊSo I got my little decant out of Sepia today just to remind myself of what it is like and to see if my perception changed since my appreciation of Chene... LOVE IT! ÊI detect so much more in this one than I did previously and I think it is magnificent, very masculine and intoxicating, complex, arresting, potent... has a sharp edge that packs a punch but is comforting at the same time. Ê Forget LV Vetiver, I'll save my dough for a full bottle of this beauty! ÊAnyone else know it?
