I was aware of the poor reviews for this scent (thanks Digindirt for the sample!) before I obtained it, but I couldn't pass up the opportunity to smell walnuts in fragrance form. To cut to the chase, I'm still looking for that experience, because there are no walnuts in this scent! For the long version, read on.
Black Walnut goes on with an earthy vetiver, which is then surrounded by a fresh, clean, creamy sort of scent. Though feminine-leaning, it is crisp and sharp. This reminds me faintly me of CK "Euphoria" or Juicy Coutere's "Dirty English", although with better longevity than the latter; however, both of those scents have more presence and simple oomph than BW.
By four hours it has whispered down to a faint sweetness. Then some aromatic herbs take over for little while. This is the best phase of this scent, but even it doesn't last. By eight hours, there's nothing left to smell.
With that said, BW is not a bad scent. It's not offensive, but neither is it compelling or even interesting. If you're looking for something to wear and you find this cheap, it will work for you. Everyone else, don't slow down as you pass this one by.
