Warm but cooling, light but heavy. Smells like woods. Not forest green woods, but burning campfire woods. Citrus smells like sweet candy. Reminds me of the gummy orange candies shaped like an...

I got a sample of this one from the Imaginary Authors website. This one is a smokey, woody vanilla fragrance. It kinda reminds me of cocoa, since it is very dry and has a bittersweet smell to it....

This one, which I have never smelled, intrigues me. Lavender, cocoa, wheat absolute and leather? Wow.

Is this lavender prominent? Sweet (like many of the PG scents are)? Sample worthy?

A very nice leathery and woodsy scent IMO.

I received a decant of this from a generous BN'er. Starts of with lavender and a bit of mint, that quickly disappears and you're left with a very woody leather scent. There is also a hay like note throughout, not unlike the one found in Chergui, I'm guessing that's the wheat note. Nice stuff, I'd say if you like Chergui, you'll probably like this one.
