Well wormwood and turpentine sound terrible as core notes around which to build a socially acceptable scent. Over the past few years however this has grown on me to a strong love. At the heart of this the lavender and fig remind me of blueberry cordial - not too sweet though. The long lasting resinous base is where it is so fantastically unique. It is the smell of brambles at the end of season once some of the stems/leaves are turning brown and any remaining blackberries are too far gone to eat. There’s a touch of mustiness - as if your clothes have been in a drawer too long. There’s the smell of a hot breeze through dry Sandy pines on a Greek cliff top. And yes - a touch of paintbrush cleaner...

Soapy rose, & fig leaves. This is quite HINTLY figgy, and dominant fig. It has creamy sandalwood, with roses effect (i'm sure there is slight rose) and calmly lavender. It also has powdery effect. I already dislike figs at most, but this one is fairly done not making the figs to be dominantly lame.
