wife got me neanderthal was from our local niche fragrance store for valentines day. each step of this formulation is like an entirely different fragrance. it opens with fresh spices, citrusy and bright. a faint church incense scent. in the middle the church incense really shines. and it radiates quite nicely. the dry down is like a designer ambery vanilla but done the opposite of designers. where designers smack you in the face with ambery vanilla thru out the life of the fragrance, was only lets it come out in a very subtle way in the dry down several hours after initial application. overall a very wearable scent. mass appealing across the life of the scent but in completely different ways. an absolute favorite in my collection.

This is very different on skin to a test on paper. Second wear and this shoots into my rolling top 10. It's old books in dry old bookcases, covered in the dust of a hundred incense sticks in an old rectory where your childhood best friend lives. The nutmeg, clove and cardamon are perfectly balanced with the woods and musk and nothing dominates. All the elements speak gently to each other with a beautiful subtle power. For my nose it's damn near perfect.

oh the cardamom is fantastic in this. altogether it smells like the freshest incense you've ever burned. i wasn't very impressed smelling it from the bottle, but it gets more complex when worn. at least for me!

Armanz... im starting to think that u havent smelled it yet! it does not smell like plum or pomelo at all, i was just testing you. And buddy boy could not even spell spice bomb right. Anyways, u smell like poop

hey shut up u dork. dont talk back to THE Edgar Allan. I own you, my fragrances are way better than you and i got more knowledge! (please dont ban me fragrantica)
