Ligno

As someone mentioned earlier, yeah...this is how the color Black is supposed to smell. Brilliant description @alternateu As i have 4 bottles of passion for Antaeus Chanel, Ligno is something almost identical, for me, like Antaeus on some ambroxan steroids, suptile ones though,leather, wood, patchouly, almost the strongest labdanum with musky, almost leathery ambergris and some extra fruit, even might be a clary sage bloom. Blissful blend of castoreum, labdanum and sensitive patchouly, amber, that is all present and calming. The smell of luxury screams time from time, in the meantime the dark swamp of castoreum leather marinated in finest Labdanum flowers and resins. That fruit might easily be the flower yet, but it lightens up the composition. I guess it's orris and ambroxan giving people that pffff or woow effect at a first sniff aside from castoreum, leathery lovers, that percieve this gem as an extreme clean barbershop with luxurious and expensive aftertaste...Tried the whole box, the whole collection, this and Ambra are must haves. projection might be intimate, compared to beasts and glues we are wearing today, but my nose can still catch it tomorrow afternoon. It's not screaming but it's bloody there and still asking. I have about 1300 bottles, decants, samples...and i quitted..year and 2 months without new scent. And then i smelled Ligno. The rest is history :) Amazing smell and quality. 10 of 10 and i rarely go so

I bought it only smelling the opening, thats how much i liked it. The opening is somehow boozy and earthy, all held together by a thick manly patchouli. The drydown gets a bit more woody and dark and is still amazing. All of it is aired out with some sort of citrusy note (im guessing the bergamot), it all goes together amazingly. Last a long time especially on clothes. It projects decently for a couple of hours and it tones down after a while. Definitively manly, signture worthy for the right person. I feel like someone who likes fragrances like Antaeus will love this, although this is lighter on the castoreum note. Not a blind buy though as its very polarizing, some might like it on them some not. But everyone can appriciate how good it is.

As evidenced by the low rating and the praise below, Ligno is a polarizing fragrance. This is the last sample from my Jeroboam discovery set, and I’m in the thumbs up camp. I can’t think of another patchouli dominant fragrance that remotely resembles Ligno. Underneath all the earthy, natural notes is an overall creaminess. Ligno has a thick, gooey texture due to the top shelf, quality ingredients, most notably the orris. Thankfully ambroxan— usually a nemesis—is expertly mixed and does not overpower the composition. A beautiful, delicious take on patchouli with an unusual list of supporting notes. And finally an extrait that behaves like an extrait. Apparently I saved the best for last.

Antaeus Chanel on steroids and some extra fruit. Blissful blend of castoreum, labdanum and sensitive patchouly, amber is all present and calming. The smell of luxury screams time from time, in the meantime the dark swamp of benzoinish castoreum leather marinated in finest Labdanum flowers and resins. That fruit might easily be the flower yet, but it lightens up the composition. i guess it's orris and ambroxan giving that expensive and clean aftertaste , knowing that we deal with a dead animal here at first...Tried the whole box, the whole collection, this and Ambra are must haves Amazing smell and quality. 10 of 10 and i rarely give so

It is such a beast! ANIMALIC SMELL and ambergis are very prominent. Patchouli and pine are very balanced around + a light sweet hint for buttery orris. I have never met this ANIMAL smell before, it seems in line with Miksado Jeroboam but a little more furry. It is not nasty it is mysterious, intriguing, and kinky! I like it. it is like a werewolf that is chasing you in a forest to sexually assault you - it could smell like this, yes LOL
