Smell Bent Scents are to me, fairly linear and not super complex. This is not too sweet black licorice and very natural smelling… very strong but not synthetic, with a musky vanilla ceder base. If I really stretch my nose muscles I can extract the heliotrope from the mix. This somewhat reminds me of Kenzo Peace just add strong anise. The silage is kinda so so but I really dig it 🙂

Mirrorghost did a great job describing this. Dead of Winter starts out as pure anise and slowly becomes an anise flavored marshmallow. Very soft and pillowy, and as such not to my taste. I wish there was more of that “zombie musk” from the description as I’m sure it would really give this a more well rounded and wearable character instead of just smelling purely edible which doesn’t personally appeal to me. Performance could also be a bit better. Not bad, but perhaps a bit unfinished feeling, worth a try if you are a fan of pure gourmands without anything too musky or inedible.

this starts off with a big whiff of anise. for some reason i thought star anise was more subtle but in this it’s definitely not. it smells like good and plenty. after a few minutes i get some hints of vanilla and heliotrope, like a fluffy white cloud, mmm. that cloud grows but the anise is still strong too and while i don’t mind anise in small amounts, it’s a bit much here. i don’t really get much cedar in this. after being on the skin for quite some time the anise calms down and it is more tolerable for me. at this points it smells like marshmallowy-anise, and is soft and comforting like gourmands often are.

I just wish it came back every Christmas. I was waiting for this this year to get a big bottle. Better luck next time. First some anise and after that lots of heliotrope which I adore, but some real heliotrope that is flowery and a bit vanilla like and not just pure almond. I love it!

An initial burst of anise, cool like a winter day. Settles quickly into heliotrope and a very light musk. The heliotrope gives it a somewhat “play-doh” type vibe.I like it. For me it’s a childhood memory, walking home from school on a cold afternoon and finding creative ways of using play-doh and other such things to entertain myself while spending cold evenings indoors.

This to me smells like black licorice and cedar. I can’t smell the heliotrope at all.
