I've been wanting to move towards woody unisex for a long time and decided on Stash thanks to numerous reviews. Bull's eye! The name fits, the packaging fits, everything fits. A mysterious scent that evokes dreams of a forest, a forest where you feel comfortable and at home, safe in the warmth. For me a good mood fragrance that catapults me back to the beautiful moments in nature. My secret time machine, so to speak. Thank you, Sarah Jessica Parker!
I am very happy that I discovered the fragrance. The interplay of notes is extremely successful and results in THE perfect unisex fragrance for me, without feeling like I'm running around dressed up in a carnival costume,
what has happened to me so far with the men's fragrances, to which I have dared to.

not so good
was recommended to me as a cheap alternative to Santal Blush by Tom Ford, unfortunately the fragrance does not arrive here (the model?) by Tom Ford. Santal Blush smells much more "refined" and Stash has some additional note that somehow smells unpleasantly stinging. I'd rather spend the fortune on Santal Blush sometime.

All wrong.
The dry down on this perfume smells like the motor oil and diesel that accumulates on the floor of the barn over years and assaults the nose as soon as the barn door is opened.

When I first applied this, it was so overwhelmingly black peppery, that I got sneezy. After about 30 to 45 minutes, the sneeziness went away, only to be replaced by nausea. I was in a meeting and couldn't wash it off and so was left to smell it for over an hour.

I wanted to like this; I genuinely did. The descriptions of it as "woodsy" and "different" really intrigued me because Shiseido's Feminite du Bois is one of my all-time favorites. But this left me nauseous and smelling like an auto mechanic. It is not sultry, it is not interesting, it is not good. There is no redeeming quality to this perfume whatsoever. I'm sorry to be so harsh, but from the first spray and even after I tried to wash it off, it was very offensive. It literally made me ill.

Off to the sauna
I've always heard about these spa / sauna fragrances, but never smelled them. This one is clearly Sauna Pur, the first infusion is just over, take a deep breath.
Still in my bathrobe, I go for a walk in the rainy pine forest, take another deep breath.
A true wooden dream in autumn garb.

YOU are a celebrity fragrance? No way!

Sarah Jessica Parker Stash
On my skin, this is all about the cedar with black pepper giving it some depth.

Definitely not your average celebrity fragrance. It's dry, dusty, smooth with soft edges. Nothing screechy here. The most interesting part for me is the complete lack of sweetness. To give you a visual of just how "sugar-free" this fragrance really is, it's like drinking iced tea where the water is boiled and poured over a tea bag and then served on the rocks.

I think that for some people, it may feel like it's missing something, like it falls flat but in that "flatness", lies it's beauty. It's unique, you won't smell like anyone else in the room. The vibe is understated, literal and quite nordic. I once knew a lovely, older lady who was Finnish who had a sauna in her basement and Stash reminds me of how that room smelled. A clear, muted cedar. The pepper isn't harsh and blends in nicely with the cedar as a supporting player in the background. However, I struggle to find any of the other notes. Perhaps it's just seamlessly blended.

It stands out in my collection as being distinctive. I don't have anything else quite like it and for that reason, it feels like it fills a gap. There is no chance of this becoming cloying or overwhelming or feeling suffocated by it. It's truly just a warm, woody, slightly spicy scent that nary a person would be offended by.

Mind you, it won't be for everyone. It's a scent that takes time to get used to but I enjoy it on it's own merrits. Definitely unisex. The bottle itself looks simple, classic and high-end. In my opinion, not a safe blind-buy so I'd recommend testing it first if you can.

I am a truck mechanic and this smells like nothing found in an auto workshop.

Beautiful blend of woody notes, syrupy vetiver and pepper.

More complex on paper. Waxy, earthy, peppery wood on skin. Drydown reminds me a little of Varvatos Vintage. Excellent longevity + quality.

Pretty good stuff. Dirt cheap but not cheap smelling. Lasts better on clothes than skin. 7-10
