Ciel Immobile

smells a little bit like my first boyfriend......he lived in his moms basement :))) so likeee laundry detergent, an old leather couch, faint mildew on the pipes, and a mans cologne sprayed on an old sweater. Credit where its due, he smelled nice, that was one of his better qualities for sure. real talk, ik the poor guys catching strays here, but theres somethin nice abrewin here. This fragrance is mild and warm and sweet like vat of warm honey or marshmallows. 8/10

Tested this out today and the notes don't tell the whole story. This fragrance is very similar to Santal 33 by Le Labo. In fact I think it's >95% similar to my nose. Mineral notes? I don't get those. I don't get fig either. There's a teeny tiny bit of florals. But otherwise, this is a dead ringer to S33 but not nearly as good. This is not worth your time unless you get it for dirt cheap and don't want to spring for S33. I don't know what this costs, but S33 lasts damn near 24 hours on me. I got about four hours from this. S33 in is faaar superior in my book in every measurable (smell, longevity, projection, sillage). Scent 3/10 Performance 4/10

I don't often scrub a fragrance off and throw away the tester but this one is a hard NO from me. The mineral notes with leather is quite repugnant. I was praying for an amazing dry down but that was a hard four hour of testing. However, each to their own taste. It would be boring if we all liked the same thing.......you weirdos 😉

🪷Delos in a Glass of Water 🪷 I walk into the office kitchen and pour myself some cucumber water – the same kind you find in every kitchen, in every office. I barely lift the glass to my lips, and suddenly I’m somewhere else – on an island where the stones burn your feet, and the air smells of greenery, salt, and the shade of a fig tree (because nothing says Mediterranean summer quite like fig leaves). In the background, there’s the scent of worn leather sandals, dust from the path leading to the sea, and something mineral, like the breath of rock under the midday sun. I stand by the office window and, for a moment, I can really feel the wind from that island. I put the glass in the dishwasher and go back to work – in a slightly better mood. @the.scent.files
