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.

Blind bought. I personally dislike this perfume on me as the lanolin smell is very strong and I feel like I’m smelling sheep sweat a little bit. It’s quite overwhelming. I was very very impressed though - I only put a teeny dab of the perfume that had leaked in transit on my arm and the scent is super strong. (Btw be careful those of you who are thinking of getting the 16ml, prone to leakage) I’m sure there are people who love this scent, it’s just not for me, but since this frag is so interesting I might buy myself a bigger bottle just to keep in my collection. I would probably love this on my boyfriend. Try before you buy, definitely. Very interesting scent.

i get mostly costus and clover. it smells earthy and green with something that almost smells like gasoline. a reviewer below mentioned fresh clothes from a department store-i can see that. after awhile i get more of the wool feeling. it's certainly a strange one. not necessarily bad, but not wearable for me.

It comes on with a peculiar organic-plastic element, which I believe is the costus. There's a 'clothing' smell aspect to this, too. As in, it smells like what BRAND NEW clothing smells like -- a little artificial, machine-industrial smelling. It eventually calms substantially and settles into a herbal-floral scent that, whilst totally unique, does not inspire me. It has elements of Traditional Chinese Medicine as well as bits and pieces of a savoury gourmand. Overall, it is a little weird but not offensive...
