Complex 2020

Absolutely gothic smell, very austere, dark, in the style of Twilight, or The Vampire Diaries, it smells like a handful of earth with root herbs, like peat with dried hay, like the pages of old books in which herbs were dried for secret potions. It requires a specific style.

Don’t trust the marketing. This has no civility to it, just hard edges and high intensity which does not equal sexy. It’s harsh, loud and powerful. More artistic than anything.

To me it’s smells like a witches pantry. All kind of green herbs and funky stuff.

This, along with Electimuss' Gladiator Oud and Amouage's Search and Interlude (and flanker) were the very first fragrances to ever hit me as revolting and disgusting. Im not sure which note it is causing the disgust - in the other ones it was Cade Oil usually. These are ones I literally considered trashing, before saving them for trades.

The opening of this scene reminded me of when I went to dump my fly trap bottle from my garden and I opened it to pour out the decomposing two week old flies. Upon dry down, it smelled way too strongly of a basil and sage on top of some leather, which in your head doesn’t sound so bad, but it just reeks in a way. This has filled a new category in my collection , that category being, “Scents to wear when putting your two weeks notice in”

I am a big Boadicea fan. I have this one and Eleborate. These two smell exactlly the same. Don't need them both. That said, let's get to the perfume. Wel, this is something special, no an office scent :-) You will be shot wearing this one to the office. It is a heavy, smokey, animalic scent, it takes some effort to wear this and pull it off.

Notch more mouth-watering sour than initial Complex, mostly the same due to beast mode, enthusiasts will appreciate it galore. No basil, sage or any florals barely, it's the perfect salty olibanum slight leather. Bit darker oud opening but goes back to sheer Complex in the mid.

Green leather fragrance. Softens in the dry down. Not dirty, just typical musculine green, leather. Good for what it is. Can't grade it since I don't wear these kind of fragrances. I guess though similar men's fragrances exist at normal prices.

This is one of the worst smelling fragrances I have ever worn. This is the fragrance you wear when you are sick of people and want nobody to come around you. They should rename this ‘People Repellent’.

It smells just like a fresh dollar bill to me lol definitely on the green side it’s not bad but not good either sooooooo I’m neutral!

Annoyingly interesting but way too sage-y overpowering

Hideously eternal. Smells cadaverous.
