Lost In Translation

Is this one really lost in translation? What it is that I cannot read between the lines? This fragrance starts off with a slightly sweet violet, and a lot of green and herbal juniper. I was expecting something lighter and more aquatic but I struggle to pick up on the water notes, and even the tea is lost to me. The pepper stands out immediately and together with the juniper it is leaning on the masculine side of a unisex fragrance. The leather surprises me early on, and is a more subtle and velvet-y take than what I am used to with leather. Then the tobacco, a lot of tobacco shows itself, and the woody base wraps it all up into a big hug from a grandfatherly figure. It is a lot to take out from this fragrance, but even though it has a lot to say, it says so in a comforting and warm way. Like you’re wrapped up in a big cozy blanket, and when the wind gives you a whiff of the scent you’re wearing it is actually quite powdery. Initially I would describe this as a nice gentleman’s’ fougere, with the most delicious juniper and the perfect spicy kick from the pepper and tobacco. But when you have had that first sniff, every note blends beautifully together and I am at a loss of words. This perfume deserves a masterfully written review (I know this is not it). And is my loss for words what it means to be lost in translation? All I can say is that this is something you really need to smell for yourself. Exceptional scent for a superb price.

The initial spray scared me with how sweet it was, but on my skin it settles down into spicy, soapy, and slightly floral and sweet. I get none of the leather or tobacco on my skin, which is disappointing, but i do get it on the test strip. Really nice and can be worn by anyone, safe blind buy and ill definitely use my whole bottle. Excited to try it in the spring, i think it will really bloom. Pretty strong, i like a subtler smell so i use one spray and it lasts me the day, but does turn into a skin scent in around six hours. Goes great with a cup of chai Edit: after using it more, this scent was made for the cold wet PNW fall and winter, and scent for the type of cold that hurts your nose. You get the leather and tobacco after wearing a heavy coat for hours

I think trying to pick apart the notes in something like this is useless. It smells fantastical, otherwordly, it's fuzzy and warm without being spicy or resinous. It has a plasticky, doll head quality to it, especially once it settles. It also leans 'woody', a tender and slightly sweet wood. I usually spray on clothes cause everything disappears quickly on my skin, but this one curiously performs way better on skin! It soaks in and barely projects, but what a delight to sniff on your wrists! If anyone has a bottle to swap or sell please dm <3

This is one beautiful fragrance. It feels like I’m standing in the lush woods of the Pacific Northwest in a sunny day in autumn. There’s something bright and warm at play and I can’t name what notes are accomplishing this, only that it’s stunning. The woody notes are so calm and comforting, the greens are bright and cheery - this is beautifully cozy and fresh. I love this combination in that it’s totally unisex - anyone can wear this! Will be purchasing a full bottle.

Very original, 100% unisex, difficult to describe. Fresh and warm in the same time. Intriguing & mysterious. I wear it and my husband too... I love it ! The design of the bottle is so nice too... 10/10
