ScenieltSwins – :
Greenish woody blend with slight green citrus.
This is quite intense with grand doses of green notes (lemon grass, balsam fir) with olibanum, galbanum, lemon, opoponax, myrrh, & honey waxed almond bites, and that’s what first hint me on the first top spray. Later, I get a clear lemongrass, lemon, opoponax, and myrrh right after 5 minutes in on my skin with sharp doses of bitterness. I can’t detect no roses, cinnamon, cardamom, or incense.
It’s an interesting scent LATER and NOT when first sprayed cause honestly it did confused me quite big at first but later I understood the whole concept. It’s fairly good.
MAXIMUSS – :
On me, this was mostly creamy lemongrass, in a way that reminded me of that Thai coconut soup, tom kha. Invigorating! Soft scent that doesn’t overpower, but does make me feel a little hungry.
