To me this one is all about being a ginger-citrus-floral fragrance. I kinda want to eat it.

The ginger hangs throughout, but the lemon fades somewhere in the middle. Have you ever had a fragrance where the citrus notes at the beginning are still there in the base? I haven’t.

Sandalwood is my favorite of the woodies, and it comes along in a couple of hours and stays, so when this happens I love it even more.

It lasted 24 hours on me, projection was average.

PK Perfumes was a wonderful find for me, I was reading about “Timbuktu” and what gives it that forest-camp-fire-smoky note and finding it is the nagarmotha/cypriol oil… “a smoky note without a trace of oiliness or tar, the smell of crisply burned dry wood on a bonfire.”

Then searching for more perfumes that have this note, found “Ere” by PK Perfumes among many others like “For Men" by Tom Ford which was claimed to be the first to use cypriol…

The top of Ere to me is a green woody forest, and masculine smelling. It smells delicious above my skin, but starts to smell indolic on my skin. ;(

This lasts for about ten minutes, and it’s back to campfire notes, cedar, and pipe tobacco. But then 5-6 hrs later the indolic smell starts again and stays this way on me for the rest of the time. Don’t know why beautiful fragrances turn like this on me, I see your reviews and it's not happening to you guys. ;(

Longevity was at least 24 hours, and sillage was great, just above average.

So strange how something so beautiful can turn into something so ugly.

It was lemony and green and fresh and clean, but it only lasted like this for an hour. Then something smelly started coming on and it took me the longest time to put my finger (my nose) on what it was. Have you ever gotten close enough to someone's mouth and got the whiff of oyster breath? I don't know if they had been eating them or not but that's exactly what they smell like. This perfume doesn't smell like oysters as much as it smells like oyster breath. It stays like this for at least four hours. Of course the dry down smells nothing like oysters, it's quite pleasant.

Thank God the projection was low. Longevity lasted at least ten hours.

I am sorry but this is just nasty.

It opens with just Jasmin and it's quite nice. Then more white florals join and it is too thick for me. Then about an hour or less it starts stinking (body odor/animal stuff?). Then, and it hasn't even been on for two hours it turns indolic/mothball like with a hint of jasmine way in the back.

It is a silage monster.

I smell blood right at the start, and I almost barfed. Scrubbing it off and not passing this sample onto anyone. Does anyone buy this?
