Londoner N6

This is no doubt another quality offering from Bex London. Interesting and turbulent opening of spices, some listed here like pink pepper, cloves, anise are not overt but contribute to an overall warm, resinous feel which had me excited. However, when it settles becomes a slightly bitter with quite a strong rose and musk note. There is a an almost gourmand sense hints creamy but dirty patchouli, and dry florals. This is not quite my sort of thing for some reason, something is putting me off that I can't place? Maybe it's the emergence of rose muddying the rest of the composition. Perhaps it's just the fact that this seems less focused that some of the others I've tried. Anyway not horrible but not my bag.

I was confused about this at first. It seemed to be unclassifiable--not quite floral, not quite fruity, not quite gourmand, not quite spicy. But I have grown to love it because of this ambiguous quality. The opening to me leans a little feminine, but it dries down to a fully unisex scent. Houdini4's comment about "lack of focus" is on target, but in this case I don't take it as a flaw, but rather as a fascinating blending of categories.
