i find this to be a wildly misunderstood fragrance... the really stunning contrast here is between ripeness (indolic jasmine) and staleness (the astringence of a three-day-old ashtray). this is such a well-crafted fragrance that it has literally changed the way that its irl accords smell to me. this perfume will teach you the olfactory similarities between tobacco and other dried leaves (especially hay, and straw, and wheat, and green/white teas). perhaps most importantly of all this perfume will remind u that, despite what the white-floral-industrial-complex wants you to think, there has always been and will always be something subtly and addictively weird/gross about the smell of jasmine.
I feel like this is a must for anyone that likes understated scents. The perfume is very floral with a smokey touch lingering about like an afterthought. I bought it to wear last summer but still haven’t finished the bottle! It’s unisex too, definitely smt to wear with your favourite spring trench coat
it has really sweet spice-like notes first but after a couple hours it smells like subtle vanilla and a bit woody
Im no expert in perfumes although it’s something I’d really like to get into, it’s so difficult for me to find my personal scent so when I found this one it’s like a new era of me began lol
