Another utterly beautiful AZ creation.
A beautiful, fresh, woody green opening, wormwood and galbanum take my breath away. The woody green notes are brisk, and mingled with herbacious green scents, like a cold dry morning on an expansive grassland, the vegetal aromas waft gently. There’s a warmth arising from the smoky notes and the cumin, and a dusky leathery accord, lightly animalic, but earthy. There’s a rich, heavy tobacco…this really reminds me of days gone by, heavy, muscular horses in sweaty, lathered, leather tack, pulling hay laden wagons. Their drivers smoking tobacco pipes, leather tobacco pouches never far from hand. Dirty dusty roads lined by a verge row of thick green vegetal weeds, galbanum, immortelle, wormwood, and beyond that a grassland leading to light, dry woods. This is one beautiful, quite complex, leather chypre that is very, very worthy of owning!!

I am soo late at reviewing this, it was one of the first Zworykinas to join my collection. While all of them bring me strong visuals, this one is unique as it’s a full narrative film. A road movie.
It starts in the chilly morning with a crisp, bitter blast of wormwood and galbanum. As the sun rises and heats up the fields, a sweet smell of herbs and tobacco take over. After some time, the journey continues into dense woods to finally end by the smokey camp fire. It takes me at least 6 hours to get there and the each part is equally pleasant. Often it lasts until the next morning. Even more gorgeous on my (male) partner, however that could even be possible.
At first I had no idea what Äppelpaj meant with the “snus” smell, but I guess it’s the sweet herbal part. It’s so much more complex and herbal than snus smell, the tobacco is faint om me, herbs stronger. I love this and loathe snus. (But if you know a snus with immortelle in it, please let me know!!!)

On my skin this fragrance is mainly about tobacco. It smells a lot like Swedish snus or moist powder tobacco. The cumin is quite strong as is the thyme and tarragon although they blend together seamlessly with the tobacco. There is also something that reminds me of a licorice powder from my childhood which also contained salmiac and peppercorn. It all comes together quite leathery and old fashioned. I imagine this is what a Swedish stable worker could have smelled like in the 19th century.
Edit: In the dry-down on my skin the cumin and herbs I guess, have taken on an additional animalic quality aside from leather and I can smell soft goat hair. I find it quite interesting and intriguing.
