An Amazing Fragrance
This fragrance reminds me of a description I heard of how David Bowie smelled to Will Butler of Arcade Fire:
"It smelled like if an ancient pine forest had a massive forest fire -- but like, a month ago. So you get the new growth of the grass and the moisture, but still, there's an undercurrent of pain. But also of smoke, so kind of like marshmallows...? It's powerful."
Bowie died before this fragrance was marketed by Floris, so that we can rule out this is what he was wearing. But the description could be for this. The opening is a huge release of several scents that is fair to call polarizing when reading comments on this fragrance.
It doesn't take too long for the smoky, green forest to come through. In its last stages, hours later, it can smell a bit creamy or like marshmallows, but the underlying greens and woodiness are there.
I use it on my skin. One spray to the chest just below the neck and one to my right wrist lasted 8ish hours with heavy sillage for the 1st couple of hours.
It was very pleasurable for me. I really got the feel of a well-crafted fragrance that had a lot of nuance and complexity.
