Ted Lapidus Black Soul - I'm Liking This!

I have been wearing this now for a few days - granted the humidity here does not fit this fall scent.

This is a very rich scent that is deep in its notes. It reminds me of taking all the sweet and citrus out of 1 Million leaving behind rich scent.

There is a sweet feel from the medjool dates, raisin, and saffron but its more refine then 1 Million.

The base is so deep with Cinnamon and this new Ambrocenide note which from what I read was created by Symrise that is a synthetic aroma molecule with woody and ambery facets developed from natural cedarwood oil. The base really pumps it heart out.

Reminds me a little of Desir De Rochas at first, then it gets more bubble gum (Bazooka Joe, I'd say)

This perfume is my homage to America. There is to my nose a definite wintergreen note which is very prominent, especially in the drydown. The fond memories of my visits to the USA, a very different world from Europe - with very different smells ; cinnamon candy, root beer, grape jelly, Aim toothpaste, etc.,etc. All quintessentially American and wonderfully captured in this fragrance !
