Kyphenzé - Citrus Rex

Enormous sage, with very sweet, nutty resins underneath. Liatris gives it a more fuzzy herbal feel rather than just the clean sage. The first spritz is immediately reminiscent of 80s masculins. Reminds me of being bored looking at cars with my step-dad when I was very young. It has a sort of dirty car ashtray, aramis nostalgia. While that evocation doesn't go away, there is more to it than that. It has a modern resin feel and of course, any such scent in the 80s would have had oakmoss and/or patchouli, both of which are absent here. I think this is a good perfume but I can't imagine wearing it in public, I don't want to smell like a cockney smoker from the 80s. I don't get the name, as citrus is the last thing I get of all the notes listed. As I'm writing this it's drying down, and it's getting more and more stale smelling. Unfortunately I think it's going to be a scrubber for me, both for the scent and for what it reminds me of. Update: hideous in the far drydown.
