Visceral, raw, animalic, leather. Tarry, smoky, skanky. Notes of fecal tobacco, some spiced rum, and castoreum/medicinal patchouli make for an uncompromising, unforgiving mix. For all that, it's not rude or unwearable, just aggressively masculine (ignore the uni designation). Think a mix of Knize 10, Tauer Lonestar Memories, Dali pour Homme, and C&S Cuba and you have an approximation. Quite a blast.

Really interesting, unique, and compelling formulation that is very evocative of a fragrant shoreline at low tide. Reedy, salty, marshy notes mix with medicinal resins (elemi), piney-balsamic notes, and herbal/incense/labdanum notes (sage, or something giving the impression of sage stands out to me). At the same time, there are also competing bitter green notes and softer, sweeter floral nuances. A lot going on, but it blends and projects beautifully throughout its evolution.

Classic English perfumery at its best. Lots of lavender, balsamic elements, a bright citrus opening, and a zesty, slightly medicinal, herbal/woody base. The juxtaposition of "town" and "country" in the name is well appointed. Similar to Blenheim Bouquet, this one has a duality of nature and projects a mixed message. It has elements of a proper, somewhat foppish British town elegance, especially at the opening, but also a coarser, more astringent, somewhat dirty (borderline fecal) discordant chord that calls out the dirty farmer hands of the country. Unlike Blenheim Bouquet, where the discordant note creates an air of dismissive, haughty superiority, the minor chord in this fragrance is humbling and inviting.

The opening of this is a train wreck - smells like a combination of an orange degreaser and rubbing alcohol. If you wait for 30 minutes, the industrial waste note subsides into a reasonably coherent, pleasant, subdued, smoky sandalwood-infused patchouli – hippie heaven. If you wait another hour, the show is over.

Kickstarter campaign frag. Believable rendition of moon dust. Similarities to Michael Storer's Monk and LDDM by Tauer with that dry, mortar, dirt note -- like old plaster and books. Also has a vanilla type note. Odd but pleasant and wearable. Long-lasting and linear.
