Atlas

I quite enjoy the concept, and the reality, of a fragrance with rum 'n' raisin top notes. Takes me back to the 70s when that was the most exotic icecream flavour available in the UK. :) Tobacco notes always appeal to me, as does hay - I have acquired several fragrances which lean into those. Atlas is quite different from the rest of the Laboratory line, which are greener for the most part, and I am glad to have got my hands on a bottle if it has been discontinued. EDIT: I have been wearing this today and enjoying it - rich and spicy without being heavy. My husband said it reminded him of his grandpop's pipe tobacco, which he says about a lot of things to be fair, but in this instance he was spot on (see the description above of the perfumers' tobacconist-bothering) There will be no living with him now... :)

Wow -- here I am 18 months later, and I'm not sure if this one is going to work out... Yes, it has a deeply royal and smooth boozy element to it, but there is also an off note, herbaceous and piquant, and it is quite a uneven element to an otherwise wonderful scent. I might need to try this one out again, I think, but it's looking like it's heading to the 'catch and release' domain for me...

Wow. Instant intrigue. It went straight to the 'live in' category, even though I blind bought this one. It has a rich, royal, boozy spice combo, with soft, pleasant woods backing the scent. It's quite an intoxicating scent, I must say, and I'm SUPER happy that this blind buy worked out! Even though I already own this, I'm gonna test it again, on its own, and report back on it...

That little bowl of cinnamon potpourri that's been in your great aunt's bathroom for 7 years now. Not my bag.
