Hey guys! I was initially very eager to try this one, got a sample, tried it, thought little of it, and tossed it in the fragrance purgatory, for several months, where it would lie, until today. I don't know why, but I got an itching to try it again, so right now I'm wearing the sample, and enjoying it mightily! Now, the opening, is pretty pungent; an initial onslaught of woods and pepper, the topnotes are decidedly green. It's odd, it feels dry and earthy, which is why I make the connection to TDH (though the flint and orange notes are noticeably missing), yet the fragrance is meant to evoke water and wood, perhaps a stagnant pond?
I feel it succeeds in it's initial goal of creating something that feels like small a pond in the middle of a forest, right after a heavy rain, all the broken timber and leaves on the forest floor, but the sun is right overhead drying everything up. It's hard to get the impression that this could possibly smell like TDH from the above description, but it really does. Sort of like a hybrid of one of the Escentric Molecules scents and TDH. It's light and watery though, so it's something that I could imagine would work perfectly in the heat. If you haven't you should seek out a sample of this stuff, it's quite good!
