mmmhaaaaargh .. this one has excellent ingredients! Do I have a country start of camphor, hay, shades of patchouli ?, and fresh menthol from balsam fir? ... I don't know, but at this stage it reminded me of Lutens' Borneo that I love. Imagine opening it with a bitter mint instead of licorice! A few minutes later there are whiffs of yerba mate on top of soggy tobacco leaves, but the star here is the hay! A hay...nuanched. Earthy, bitter dirt, balsamic and green first, then sweet and dusty with tobacco and mate, with a still moist texture, with a pasty and satisfying grain, relaxing, therapeutic. Almost chewable. The sillage subsides after about an hour, while remaining present and concentrated for many hours. Comfortable, deep, all natural, with a long, fulfilling drydown of a soft hay pillow. Definitely good and ... minimalist! ...maybe too much. It makes me greedy.

Interesting woody aromatic scent with many interesting nods to deep forest scents like Norne and Arso. The scent opens with aromatic notes of cypress and clove. The heart is mate tea and hay absolute. The perfume settles on a woody base accentuated by tobacco and slight spice. This is a deep dive into a forest. The masculine leaning scent has moderate to strong projection and good longevity. Enjoy!

Starts off like a tamer Norne before the maté note takes over and it becomes a clove spiced herbal tea. Pleasant and well blended, but I prefer the forest over the health food store.

Dark Green mentholated earthy tobacco that does get more pleasant as it dries down. I appreciate the craftsmanship but this is intended for a specific audience. IG: eatandsmellgood
