Brasilia (Smoky Batch)

Rather than smokey, I'd have called this a "woody" batch, as the birch is prominent in mid and dry down. However, I don't get much smoke from the birch until far dry down (like >5hrs). Instead, it's like I'm in a hot sauna where someone cut a pineapple. The fragrance opens right after the pineapple is cut, meaning a sweet pineapple/currant fruity note is very prominent. (Not much citrus or lemon to my nose, which makes it very different from CDNIM). Then that steadily fades leaving a dominant wood note. This differs from clones like CDNIM, which focus on pairing citrus fruit and musk. The sharp citrus and metallic ambergris notes are absent or subdued in Brasalia smokey batch. It like this Brasalia is the clone for winter, spring, fall and CDNIM is the hot weather clone. On longevity, I think opeople are going nose blind. This is pretty strong stuff. Easily gets 7-8hrs on my skin, which makes is "long lasting" by Fragrantica standards. And my girlfriend thinks it's strong after 12 hours if I don't wash it off.
