My first impression was this is very astringent, like a cleaning product. Then, to my untrained nose many things I am not familiar with, but still giving an underlying pinging of the olfactory part of my brain stem. Then I remember a time in the past spent in a tack room among the leather saddles and bridles. This is a really interesting and versatile scent.

A fresh forest scent with lemon or some kind of citrus. Something astringent is in there. Smells very fresh and green. I'm reminded of soft padding of evergreen needles underfoot and the sound of dripping water. A ghost of menthol?

I love, love the beginning of this scent, but unfortunately doesn't last too long. Afterwards some spicy powdery notes come up for me.

This is a very pretty spicy, green, smoky leather scent. The sharpness of the top notes is very prevalent at first almost tickling my nose into a sneeze. As it fades down the wood and leather notes come through. Lovely, lovely.

This was such a short journey on my skin. Spicy and earthy at first. Really interesting, but fades so quickly on me. A very short while and then pffffft... gone. I wonder if others can still smell it on me?

I really like it at first, but couldn't justify a purchase.

This scent starts with a very strong floral, mostly of jasmine. Underneath is a faint whiff of smoke and vague spiciness. A lot of earthiness comes up later with amber and patchouli in the mix. The chocolate comes through as the scent matures on my skin and stays constant until later drying down. This is a very interesting scent and has a distinct progression, but it really is too sweet for me.
