ASHY WOOD

Kinda what I expected after reading the notes - a very good interpretation of the more boozy-spicy-nutty offerings in the Angels' Share line. Still, having heard that Anfar produce familiar scents with a unique twist I was hoping for something outside the mainstream. It has the trademark booze-cinnamon-Oak vibe plus something green-herbal-salty, almost nutty (presumably the combo of Hedione and Seaweed). Altogether it works well and is enjoyable to wear but if you already have something of this style in your collection you might find this one redundant as it doesn't take things sufficiently in its own direction to stand out alone. For me, the 'nuttiness' puts this one closest to Angels' Share x French Montana though still not exactly the same.

I was disappointed when I first sprayed this, because it's not smoky at all! Or at least less than I expected. I got over it though and realized this is a really interesting combo of sweet/boozy and sort of dark mineral? Its hard to properly describe but it's primarily sweet oud. Good stuff!
