Dirty Desert Duel
Mojave (Backpacker) is, according to TwistedLilly, a wild-harvested fragrance. I'll leave out the dizzying mental images provided by the source, though and insert my ordinary words instead! Yes! Power! Ahem. (Sidebar: whomever writes the product descriptions at TwistedLilly is a true writer and probably has marriage offers cross his/her desk every week.)
My experience was not the fantasia as you might expect given the product description. For me, it was a stryax and cumin duel with a late show of vague arid notes. Stryax begins, cumin shows up and the long staredown begins. Cumin eventually outshoots stryax and goes to a saloon later with the arid notes.
So yes, it's a dirty/earthy kind of scent. Even the stryax at the beginning has this oily undertow to it. The cumin stays out of "other man's b.o" territory, but just barely. The arid notes don't elevate the fragrance. Fortunately the projection is never overpowering at 6" (early) and skin scent (later).
Not my thing. It fits the name and the longevity is worthy at 11+ hours, but that's really it for me. It's not terrible. It's not gross, but I'd rather wear something else.
