    I have both The Smell of Weather Turning and Comme des Garcons Comme des Garcons EDP, the original. While they do not smell alike, they are very similar in structure and performance. They both start out with top notes aromatic, medicinal, and reminiscent of tea: Smell of Weather with herbal mint, nettle, chamomile and CDG with spicy cinnamon and clove. Throughout their wearing, they both wind down to a warm honey-like scent: Smell of Weather with a more polite cinnamon beeswax, and CDG with a sweet and animalic honey.
    I find them both to be very well suited to Autumn and perfectly androgenous. Smoky, aromatic, and sweet.
    One difference is in the effect of shelf-life. I have personally found that fresh bottles of CDG have bright and mouth-watering top notes, while the opening of older bottles becomes a bit muddy. On the other hand, fresh smell of weather is EXTREMELY pungent and can be offputting, while older bottles may be more mellow.

    This is excellent stuff…it goes on very herbal, very like medicine…it needs time to settle down and truly emerge…it then becomes a very soft, long-lasting chamomile, wood and hay breeze…

    I blind bought this because it sounded like an interesting concept and I like all the listed notes, but that was a huge mistake.
    Yes, it smells like mint, but it also smells like pure, melted rubber. One spritz and the fumes felt like something you sniff that melts the insides of your brain. Migraine material right there. Hard to scrub of as well.
    I really wanted to like it, but I just can’t. Did I get a bad batch or something? I don’t get how anyone could possibly interpret this as outdoorsy, earthy and modest.

    I LOVE THIS ONE! Very clean and airy, refreshing and it smells like blue crystal waters. It’s herbal as well, for me it’s an autumn scent. I love it.

    Lush’s “Smell of Weather Turning” + Demeter’s “Chamomile Tea” + Demeter’s “Thunderstorm” = what it smells like when Summer ends and the Fall rains begin. It’s mostly rolling grasslands here, divided sporadically by federally protected wetlands. It’s where pastures of dry, sun-bleached grass meet the shady, low areas full of loamy earth.
    “Weather Turning” is a very wearable version of the idea. It’s clean and refreshing. But with the addition of “Chamomile Tea” and “Thunderstorm” you get much closer to the real event. At least from where I’m standing 😉

    Had a sample of this a long time ago. I loved its smoky minty ‘different ness’. But the smell of weather turning? Well maybe. And then the other day just before an enormous crack of thunder I smelled… yes the smell of weather turning. Identical to the scent. That exciting burnt rubber electric smell that signals the end of a hot humid spell of weather that we’re tired of.

    Opens with animal barn smell. Then evolves to one of the most beautiful fragrances. Just like sipping a cup of honey chamomile tea while watching storm clouds rolling in over a hayfield.. I can even feel the temperature dropping because of the mint. LOVE..

    I was so incredibly intrigued by the name. The concept really seduced me too as I’ve always loved the smell that hangs in the air just before a thunderstorm, or of the rain evaporating on warm ground.
    Unfortunately, this is one of the most horrible smells I’ve ever encountered. Even more unfortunate is the fact that it is also one of the most resilient ones I’ve ever tried on skin.
    To me, this smells extremely smoky, like burnt rubber with a bucketful of patchouli. The mint is very subtle, but doesn’t feel fresh at all and does nothing to lift the scent up. The whole thing is just incredibly heavy and gave me a headache within 10 min, even though I had only spritzed the tiniest amount on my wrist. On the way home I was trying my best to keep it as far away from my nose as possible, but eventually felt nauseous. Last but not least, even after scrubbing my wrist vigorously with soap THREE TIMES, the thing was still there. I guess the good news is, if you happen to like this, you’ll be able to enjoy it constantly 3 months from now if you were to spray it all over yourself.
    This was by far the worst reaction I’ve ever had to a perfume… to think that I had such high hopes for it too!

    After being stuck inside all day this perfume has saved my sanity this evening, I feel like I have been outside!
    It opens with a minty note that is not strictly mint, more like the intense greenness of grass without solely smelling of cut grass. Then there is more of a hay and sense of petrichor. You can feel the sky darkening.
    If this was a film scene it would be the playground with Harry Potter and Dudley.
    I have both edp and solid versions of this. I should wear it more often.

    Yup, definitely weather turning. Countryside, cool winds in the summer sun, and heavy, dark clouds looming in the horizon. Wet and muddy with lots of hay. Never smelled a perfume that instantly evoked so much emotion. Need an infinite supply of this…

    assai evocativo il nome, “il profumo del tempo che cambia”, altrettanto particolare l’evoluzione. mi aspettavo qualcosa di minimale del tipo Demeter Fragrances (che annovera nella biblioteca olfattiva anche il Thunderstorm) ma qui ci si trova dinnanzi all’astrazione piuttosto che alla riproduzione realistica di un odore. i primi spruzzi, tuttavia, danno una netta sensazione di asfalto rovente bagnato dalle prima gocce di pioggia, restituendo quasi l’effetto della gomma da pneumatici. quindi parte una evoluzione molto complessa, con sentori fumosi da cui spunta un tripudio di note grasse da brughiera bagnata di fieno, ortica, menta e muschio di quercia. infine l’assestamento su un fondo morbido e leggermente dolce di camomilla. ovviamente è fuori produzione. inusuale e bellissimo.

    Another modest EDC. I’d been intrigued by the name and everything, but then it didn’t knock me out too much. I’d call it something that refers to sweetness and grass. Devil’s Nightcap should be called The Smell of Weather Turning. I can’t detect any of the things said like rain aftermath, forests, smokeyness. Just grassy sweetness. A bright, happy, absolutely positive — yet barely noticable EDC. It reminds me of lying in the grass on a bright summer day.

    Without any hesitation- this is my favorite fragrance. It is the reason I began studying and creating them, and, while I’m admittedly a novice, I find this to be both artistically interesting and pleasant smelling…
    It’s been reformulated since it was DISCONTINUED in the States (very very very aggravating), but its essence remains the same: herbal, green, smoky, sweet, and undeniably accurate in name.
    It smells like a perfect combination of circumstances: standing in a wet, grassy meadow, holding a cup of Sleepytime tea, next to an herb garden, with an aging tobacco barn with a chimney about 20 feet away. Go ahead and agree with me.
    There’s a funny smoky/rubbery/wooden barrel accord in the opening that I find intoxicatingly manly and impossible to replicate… but the herbal/green stem/mint/chamomile accord does a fine job of tempering it and it rides out for several hours on my skin.
    It’s really too bad that this is never available in samples (they were discontinued)… Or in the US.. Because it’s one of their masterpieces. But it really is worth the exhorbitant shipping costs.

    What I immediately detect is the calming, innocent, sweet and herbal aroma of chamomile tea (which I drink everyday!), with an addition of dry hay warmed in the sun, further bringing out the overall calming herbal feel. The mint is mellow and sweet and marries very well with the rest of the notes. I don’t find this particularly heavy, smoky, green, cool or sharp except in the initial spray – instead, I think this is quite sweet, warm, dry greenness, calming and innocent, and easy on the senses as it had a chance to dry down. One of the best perfumes from Lush!

  15. :

    An obscure, medicinal, smoky, earthy and incredibly crisp minty scent. On top of all these natural smelling raw materials, you get a vision of a cold front on its way with rain approaching. Some fragrances and aftershaves immediately come to mind: Andrea Maack Coven, Chiseled Face Summer Storm, and Phoenix Artisan Accroutments La Tierra Mojada – Scent After The Rain. The common theme with the aforementioned scents….is petrichor which is that aroma released in the air immediately following rainfall typically after a dry spell. The performance is stellar…3 drops of oil projected for an easy 6 hours.

    Smoky, spicy, minty, green…herbal, fresh, leathery…this perfume is a shape-shifter and I love it! The Lord of Goathorn has a tiny smidge of this DNA. On the far drydown I even get black tea. In and out wafts the glorious sweet, dry hay note. This is the smell of plant life, lichen and natural green stuff. Different to commercial smells, wearable for me for the novelty of it. It is reminiscent of the Afternoon of a Faun, it is along that spectrum of scent. Not for everyone, but if you like strange and beautiful things, this is one for you.

  17. :

    Antiseptic start, sweetens later on. Spray works better than dropper, as dropper magnifies medicinal quality. Unique and well-performing. Concept is beautiful and exactly what this brand should be doing. But this is such an unusual smell as a perfume that this probably won’t be appreciated by anyone who hasn’t thought about what they are smelling. Worth wearing for yourself.

  18. :

    Stars with an extremely metallic punch to the nose, followed by a strong synthetic mint. This hates my skin, and I it. Too bad, the notes look heavenly.

  19. :

    4 out of 5

    The drydown is all dry chamomile teabags with a tiny bit of mint- delicious! However, the (exceedingly long) “wet” stage smells like decaying greens and rubber, rendering this unwearable (for me).
    If you love the drydown as much as I do, try Al Rehab Aroosah, which has a similar warm green herbiness, but a faster drydown. Just be sure to rest the oil for 1-2 weeks first!

  20. :

    I had really high hopes for this but I’m still unsure about it. On me it seems to just smell very strongly of incense, the kind of incense you smell burning in those hippy shops that sell novelty bongs and weed-themed memorabilia. Maybe it’s just my chemistry, I don’t know. I will definitely give it a few more tries, I want to smell what everyone else is smelling!

  21. :

    Sweet dry hay and smokey oak warmed up by smooth beeswax. Comforting scent that sometimes gets a little bit edgy when its in the mood to. Before I smelled this, the name of the perfume made me think of the smell you notice right before a bit thunderstome, where you can nearly smell the electricity in the air. It isn’t like that at all; more like the smell of a campfire at night time when its getting colder out, when summer begins to turn to fall and the nights begin to get a little cooler. When the green summer scents are still hanging on, but the smell of dry falling leaves just begins to enter the scene. A couple of hours in on the drydown(on my skin) this really smoothes out. The smokiness fades into smoothness that is almost reminiscent of vanilla.

    When I close my eyes and inhale this beauty, I see myself on a camping trip, waking early in the morning to the smell of the dewy forest, sipping chamomile honey tea next to the damp and charred remains of the previous night’s fire.

    I got this for myself but it didn’t work on my skin. I gave it to my boyfriend and I REALLY like how it smells on him!

  24. :

    Beautiful & tranquil. I first smelled this in 2010, i wasn’t overly keen at the start as i’m not a ‘smoke’ note fan. However, it dried down to an amazing cosy, comforting smell, like being in the woods behind my house, after a warm day during summer with thunder and heavy clouds in the distance, coming towards me. A very emotional scent.
    Not your usual LUSH scent either.

  25. :

    The opening of this perfume smells more like menthol than anything to me. I get a blast of something almost wintergreen/eucalyptus/menthol. It put me off initially as it was just too clinical smelling.
    This one is a morpher! A complete morpher. Once the minty green side dies down, what emerges is an earthy, dry hay/chamomile combination. Somehow it also smells resinous and has a bit of darkness going on. The honey makes it a tiny bit sweet but its only a tinge!
    Sometimes I get wafts of pure resin which smells like myrhh.
    It develops further in the drydown and becomes much more musky. It ends up being a musky resin smell on my skin and, really….nothing like weather turning.
    Not my favourite Lush but, still glad I got to wear it a few times.
    🙂

    This is one of my favorite fall/winter scents. The grassy hay opening is rough on me, but like the name implies, this is the storm moving through, and even the ‘off’ note of this phaseon my skin only intensifies that feeling. It’s the warm, smokey amber and spice dry-down that makes it worth it..like snuggling into blanket beside a warm fire after a storm.

  27. :

    The opening is hay and dry grass but shortly it opens up into a lovely woody (oak) base with fresh mint. It’s not minty like toothpaste or gum, but green and fresh like bruising fresh mint leaves between your fingers. The Chamomile and oakmoss, and maybe some nettle give it a nice earthy feel under the mint.
    Like all Lush perfumes it has really great longevity and a nuclear sillage. Use a light hand with it or you’ll clear the building.

    The Smell of Weather Turning may not be the easiest scent to like, but if you learn to appreciate its uniqueness you may find yourself unexpectedly drawn to it.
    This fragrance has a somewhat difficult opening. In my opinion, it smelt like a blend of peppermint essence and a tomato plant. Very sharp and very green. I could see why this fragrance gets its fair share of negative reviews. I was not totally put off by this opening, but I wasn’t a fan either.
    I was most impressed by this fragrance’s quick turn around, the way it settled into a powdery, spicy and slightly sweet blend of cinnamon, hay and beeswax. It reminds me of Guerlain’s Shalimar Parfum Initial in some ways.
    It’s hard to believe that a fragrance with such a sharp opening can settle into such a smooth, powdery drydown. In that respect, I urge wearers to stick with The Smell of Weather Turning long enough to discover this fragrance’s true potential.
    I find the notes of hay and mint nicely done in this composition. The blend overall is quite fresh, however the note of hay gives this fragrance a distinctive smoothness, the highlight in my opinion. The sillage is moderate and the longevity excellent. It would make a risky blind buy, so I will echo other’s thoughts, do try this fragrance first.

    The opening of The Smell of weather Turning is harsh smoky (chimney smokey) and fresh cut grass. After 15 minutes it settles down and it isn’t harsh anymore, the smoke settles down and the gras becomes the scent of hay, it is almost sweet on my skin. I like the drydown a lot and have the patience to wait for it

    I love this. You wouldn’t think a mixture of Mint, Hay and Tarmac would work, but it really does and I adore it.

  31. :

    3 out of 5

    This is only the second Lush scent I’ve tried. It is lasting a lot longer than the first, and has decent sillage. The initial mint has dried down to a woody base. I am not as happy with the scent as I hoped to be, and probably won’t buy the full size. (I am trying the Lush scents via their samples.)

  32. :

    TSOWT is a refreshing fragrance that brings the forest from the outside in. There is a hint of fresh mint skimming the surface of deep, sophisticated woods. Every fragrance lover who is attracted to green fragrances will not appreciate the stand alone uniqueness this fragrance offers. Lush has apparently decided to alienate this fragrance from the typical greens by inducing a shock value at first spritz. It could be considered a scrubber at first blast but the woods lull you in creating a peace and serenity like no other. This fragrance could easily wear you if you don’t have the courage to pull it off. If you can take the heat of hard core woods, then be my guest, just proceed with caution.

  33. :

    ABSOLUTELY love this perfume. I’ve NEVER experienced a perfume that changes scent as drastically as this one. Upon application, it smells of grass… fresh cut grass. Give it an hour or so, COMPLETELY DIFFERENT. It smells WONDERFUL. I wish I could bathe in this scent!! I always get compliments when wearing it. Truly a sensational fragrance. A must-smell!!

    Oh. Oh, this is my perfume. This is bringing me so much pleasure – why did I not try it out earlier? I think it’s because Lush shops smell so overpowering that I don’t go in, and if I do I can barely smell anything. But this (I’ve bought the solid version) has made me reconsider my aversion to the nose-bashing brand.
    It’s not just the beautiful concept and winning marketing guff backing this scent that makes it so attractive to me – it’s the fact that this is a perfume I can really wear and not feel disjointed. It merges with me and I love every note in it, I love that every note is something I know well in nature in these isles and can identify with. Warm but fresh, cool but soft, damp and green, sweet but with that sexy darker hint of woodsmoke that only appears every so often. Gorgeous.
    After the wet mint top notes dry down, I find that what’s left on me is a deep, almost edible oriental mushroomy glow which smells very very like the Murmure solide that used to be my only perfume, which I adored but managed to lose. I’ve searched for a while for a solid perfume that will give me that same effect – just a barely perceptible hint of a soft skin scent that’s mainly for my own enjoyment. Turns out that, once the weather here has turned, the gently spiced drydown lingers for ages on me.

    This catapulted me back to the days my father was still a pipe smoker, opening a newly imported tin of Balkan Sobranie Latakia tobacco, a very strong blend without any artificial flavouring. I certainly wouldn’t turn up my nose at The Smell of Weather Turning, but don’t find it easily wearable. A friend commented “medicine” on smelling my arm where I’d applied a goodly smear or two. I don’t get enough mint to lift the thing out of a top-heavy hay-and-tobacco accord. Interesting, but too much work…

  36. :

    I bought this blind. It was different from what I usually expect from Lush. I can’t say I dislike it, but it’s utterly unwearable for me, and smells NOTHING like “weather turning”. I’m not sure whether or not it’s supposed to, really.
    I only have the solid version, which probably differs considerably from the liquid, if my other Lush perfumes are any indication. It smells on my skin pretty much the same way it smells in the container – medicinally herbal, powerfully herbal. When I wore it once I had people asking me why I smelled like medicine. Under the medicine I can definitely smell mint, and on the outer edges of the fragrance I can detect some hay. Really? It just smells like medicinal herbs. As far as I can tell, this fragrance does not budge, it does not change at all, and it lasts for quite awhile.

  37. :

    Earthy, Woody, and something hard to describe hiding in this bottle. It create mixed feeling to me which I hardly to decide that I like or dislike it. This scent is really recommended to try before you buy.
    This comment won’t help anything to you. LOL. but just want to highlight that LUSH always launched the fascinating, exciting & interesting things. It always hit or miss, not the neutral feeling.
    Again, TRY BEFORE BUY.

    Many of the perfumes of the house of Lush open loudly, unpleasantly and sometimes even abrasively. A few of them, however, do end up smelling like something at least approaching a worthy perfume. I’m not sure what to think about this one.
    THE SMELL OF WEATHER TURNING is obviously intended to be a kind of Demeter-esque re-creation of the smell of weather turning, but to my nose it smells like a cross between an electrical fire or a short-circuited appliance and a forest of rotting wood underneath which mushrooms have begun to sprout. Is this a unique combination of scents? Yes, of course. Is it a perfume which I would normally choose to wear? No, I would not.
    This particular Lush creation pushes the boundaries of perfumery, but it also raises the question of what perfume is supposed to be. Should perfume smell good? To me, this one does not, and while I might be able to embrace its originality on some level, it is only as an abstraction, not as a fragrance to wear. This is the sort of scent which probably does belong in an olfactory art exhibit, but it does not belong on my skin, and I intend to bathe soon to remove the lingering traces of this rather unpleasant scent and probably will not wear it again, although there is still some liquid left in my 2ml sample vial.
    I ended up testing this perfume three times, always hoping to find what I had missed before. When all is said and sniffed, I have to confess that I think that this stinks.

    I am quite the Lush-o-phile, but as much as I find the scents of their products to be gorgeous, I have found the Gorilla perfumes to be a bit hit and miss for me. (Note: this has everything to do with body chemistry, not the quality of the frangrances!)
    A few months ago I popped into my local store and tried out a bunch of the solid perfumes that had come out since I’d last visited. In the following hours I found my nose returning to one particular spot on my arm, but I could not remember which it had been. I decided to go back in the next day and sniff them all again and if I could figure out which I’d loved so much, I would simply buy it. Luckily for me, my nose picked it right out again and I took home a tube of solid ‘Smell of Weather Turning’.
    It has become my regular scent for the moment, as it is not overpowering(very minimal sillage on me) and I am not meant to wear particularly strong scents at my job. I do find it to be quite a complex scent, but still pretty casual. For me the mint is hardly there, appearing only as a sharpness to the green aroma of sweet hay. As for the rest, well…. I am reminded of sudden sunshine drying the remains of a summer shower from a bed of wildflowers in a wood; there is an element of darkness/shade from the smokey undertone you get as the scent warms to your skin. I don’t usually go for these flowery descriptions, but I honestly don’t think I could tease out the individual notes in a way that would prove more apt.
    As the day goes on, I always find that this fragrance becomes a little sweeter and more floral, but the faint smell of rain, earth and grass never completely fades.
    Bottom line: a tricky one, particularly if your skin picks up the minty element strongly; however, gorgeous and unique on those for whom this scent really works.

    This is mostly dried hay,not very strong but doesn’t remind me of weather turning.I prefer Demeter thunderstorm.

    This smells just like medicated flea shampoo :o/ If you’ve ever bathed your cat or dog with flea shampoo you know exactly what I’m talking about. It’s rather unfortunate because this perfume starts off nice and fresh and then turns into something very medicinal.

    The Lush fragrance line deserves a lot of credit. It is cruelty free, earth friendly, well-crafted and incredibly cheap. If you haven’t already, do yourself a favor and check out the line.
    Based on the name, I expected TSOWT to be a straightforward ozonic in the mold of Acqua di Gio and its progeny. Instead, this fragrance is a somewhat gothic powerhouse of swirling smoke softened by tender notes of beeswax and chamomile.
    The top note of mint conjures up nothing so much as a grove of eucalyptus trees. As the scent evolves, the wind gusts through the grove, bringing with it a vaguely disturbing burnt smell from forest fires nearby. The danger lingers until the rains come, washing away the cinders and bringing forth a delicate waft of grasses and flowers. Not the sort of scent you’d want to wear to the prom, but a great frag to wear for yourself and enjoy as a fab example of perfume as art.

  43. :

    I think I might love this. A lot more than I was expecting to. Upon first spray, all I get is smoke and mint, and I’m not even sure where the smoke is coming from. But as it settles down, the most beautiful hay and sun-drenched grass scent comes wafting up. The mint is still there, hanging at the back of your throat. The beeswax is sweet, a little creamy, but mostly it’s just that lovely grass and hay and the tiniest hint of smoky mint.
    I can see that this might not be everyone’s cup of tea, or while some people might like this, they may not want to wear it. I personally just can’t see anything wrong with smelling like this all day long. It makes me want to spritz myself all over and run around barefoot in a glade, soaking up the sun. Beautiful. (If it tells you anything about my scent preferences, I also love the Grass shower gel from Lush. I actually bought this hoping to find something like that. While it’s not really similar, I love both scents.)

  44. :

    I wanted to love it, but to me this is more of a scented candle scent. It’s not bad, but not really a body fragrance (at least on me). I get a lot of smoky tar and the green notes only really surface in the far dry down. Still, got to love Lush for making daring fragrances like this.
    For a beautiful fresh green nature scent I would go for one of Hermes’ Jardins.

    I bought this on a whim after reading reviews and seeing the description. (I have the solid version, I’m in college and on a budget.) I normally like to smell things before I buy them, but I took the chance with this.
    In the tube, it smells WEIRD. Like, humid hot days with unwashed people rolling in hay. I was so put off I didn’t let it come near my skin. But I finally gave it a go maybe a month later.
    I LOVE this perfume! It smells a bit odd when you first put it on but let it settle and it turns into a beautiful, woodsy, soft, natural sunshine smell. By the way Lush lovers, it pairs excellently with Grass shower gel. You smell like a wood sprite. I have gotten many compliments on this. But nobody can tell its a perfume. They all seem to think I naturally smell this good. Which is fine with me!
    However, I tested it on a friend to prove how awesome it was and she smelled like sweat, hay and bit of smoke like she hung around a campfire. She found it unpleasant. So your chemistry may or may not work with this, but if it does, thank the gods, you’ve found an incredible perfume.

    One of my favorites from Lush. On me it smells of hay and mint and then becomes more of an deep, soft and smokey oriental smell, takes me back to my childhood.

  47. :

    Wow. Let me just give a quick disclaimer: I adore notes of hay and chamomile. I love shipyard sawdust and tar. My grandmother used to let us chew on fresh mint leaves, from her garden, as a treat. I love “forest” scents — earthy, ripe fruits and blooms, green, rotting wood, weird fungi — so bear this in mind if choosing to blind buy a fragrance like “Smell of Weather Turning”.
    Now, onto this compelling scent. Have you ever been outdoors in deep summer, on a fairly humid day, maybe swimming or cooking on a grill by the sea? You know that strange, weather and temperature sensation, of a cool sunshower, suddenly falling in hot weather, only to have the sun emerge a very short time later, baking everything in steamy humidity? That sensation is captured in “Smell of The Weather Turning”.
    The sunshower passes to reveal the pungent, sweet freshness of hot hay, with a sprinkling of water on top, heating in the sun. Wet linens take on an almost sour, aquatic quality, as residue detergent is re-activiated by the water and the sun starts cooking them both. Water is still running out of fresh blooms, as the sun warms them again and swirls of faint smoke rise-up into the sun from a fire that was almost put-out from the rain. Everything seems crisp and in hyper-contrast, as greens smell deeper and greener and the wet hair on our heads warms in the sun. Clean, minty bursts mix with apple-like chamomile and running throughout the entire blend is a sweet, damp but hot, hay note.
    The natural earthines of this scent is almost surreal and magical, like the smell of a time when forests were truly wild and primeval and fields the size of small countries, would be covered in burbling brooks, overgrowth, wildflowers and grasses, all baking in the sun. It sort of reminds me of scenes from the film “Legend”, with magical shifts in weather and dreamy forestscapes covered in growth and populated with buzzing insects and chirping birds, singing besides waterfalls.
    I love this scent. It is painfully and strangely beautiful. It’s not for everyone to wear as a signature scent (although, I think it might fast become mine) but it is deserving of a try from any fragrance lover who appreciates the ability for a scent to conjure-up distinct images, experiences and places. This scent is definitely one of a kind.

    This perfume sounded so interesting with the name and all – I really wanted to like it – but the solid perfume i tried smelled mostly like bug repellent on me. Probably something with the hay and chamomille together with the mint.
    I think I expected something a bit more fresh, like the smell of morning dew in the pine trees, not a sour stack of hay… I prefer Lush’s perfume Dirty over this one when it comes to minty notes. Lush is well worth a try, but as others suggest, give it a good try BEFORE you buy.

    It’s a bit weird heavy smell and I use it only when I am in the mood for it. Its kind of smoky, grassy, heavy and woody. Sometimes when I use it I feel that I can’t breathe and it reminds me when you have weather before storm. The heavy, sweaty, hot air.

    I just love this. It’s very herbal and different. I can’t stop sniffing my wrists.

    Smells of something between burnt leaves and tires on a bonfire and the atmosphere scent just before a storm but when it settles down it tends to smell like a strong black tea leaf accord washed out with hay. Quite unusual and natural in a weird yet lovely way.
    It is actually quite wearable if you like the strong herbal spirit of Dior Eau Noire or Comme des Garcons Series 1 Leaves Tea.
    Try before buy!.
    Lovely long lasting and projection!
