Black Sheep

Unique with a photorealistic scent and pretty wearable imo. I haven’t tried yet but I bet this would be an interesting layering perfume as well. Would love to read other reviewers’ experiences with layering this!

شروعی عجیب امبری و داغ و به سمت فضایی سنگین و متراکم ماسکی و پوست بو پیش می‌روید و درآخر به کوهستان و بره ای خاکی می‌رسید

Wow, this is a very different perfume. Black Sheep does smell like lanolin, a note I really enjoy as it reminds me of my father's hand balms, although this does not smell heavy like literal lanolin does. It's more like a lanolin cologne not perfume if that makes sense! This is my first introduction to Costus, a note I am excited to try :) There is definitely some incense here, but I don't really get anything else, although I can imagine I smell barley (if you tell me it's there). This perfume is on the dry and unsweet side. It's definitely unisex tilting masculine. My overall impression is of a kind of herbal dry buttery grassiness. Even tipping into leathery. On cooler days I get more Costus. Black Sheep smells 100% natural.. it's odd, warm, and lovely. I recommend it if you like hay or straw-like dried grass and leather aromas, and the scent of lanolin. Edit: One more thing, I think I'm getting some orris on the dry down. I hope someone else reviews this and lets me know if they smell it too. It's a powdery, rooty vaguely mineral kind of smell.

Okay so I admit I bought this simply because I spin yarn and knit. It is not a sheepy suint smell that I enjoy when I stick my hands in a fresh fleece. It does smell like shearing day in a barn. It is earthy, musky, almost green aromatic with a smooth lanolin feel on your hands after you washed them. I do agree that I get some incense as well. If you wear jeans with a leather belt and work on a farm this is the going to town scent for you. Not for city folk. Reminds me of country barns. It hit me while out. Its Darlene and Jacob from Ozark.

A beautiful costus-based masculine scent. Pleasantly peppery for a long time, sweet with labdanum, toasted barley leather, chewy with copal and with a watery green background, unripe and fresh. Comfortable but decisive, winter, perfect for nighttime evenings. Mysterious.
