Eshu

I'm mostly getting an incense-heavy Scotch Peat (from the Strangers line) that's less earthy & green. Performance is pretty good. Both are great, but this isn't worth the higher price. Edit: After further testing, I've realized the incense in this reminds me of Amouage Epic Man. I still often get something like Scotch Peat from this though, so it can be thought of as a mix of the two. I'll have to continue to try it to see if it's worth getting.

True to it's Legba namesake, this fragrance is very spicy and mischievous. I get a fair few random compliments when I wear it which doesn't happen a lot with other Prin fragrances I wear frequently. It's mid-range price point in his flagship line makes it a pretty good blind buy. One of the safer Prin frangrances, but no less a masterpiece. Definitely worth a try.

Eshu is another Prin scent that has a subtlety that some will appreciate while others will think it a less than perfectly blend of too many notes. I am in the former camp. I find Prin's scents that I own or have tried all share some common DNA, yet all are different in enough ways it is worth getting samples of as many as you can. This is more heavy on the woody notes than the tobacco so if you are in search a Ford TV don't bother with this one. It isn't timid but it is mild that nevertheless has good longevity. I love being able to pick up hints of the many notes, although a few I have not smelled enough to be able to recognize them. It is also difficult for me to know how much I am primed by reading the notes and then smelling the fragrance. Is there really a cinnamon note I can detect or it it the listing of it that makes me think I can? I think it is mild enough to wear during any season as a daytime scent. I am not swooning over this scent, but it is also far more nuanced than most fragrances on the market today.

Playful, eccentric and quite unique spicy woody scent from this talented young perfumer. The perfume opens with boozy gourmand notes of cinnamon, pepper, nutmeg, and a very prominent tobacco. The heart is a strange concoction of hay, cedar, elemi, ash and copaiba resins. The perfume settles on a bed of synthetic amber, oakmoss, cedar, olibanum and castoreum. The perfume is supposed to invoke a mischevious African spirit god and it actually does quite nicely. It is not for everyone but there is nothing quite like it. The masculine leaning scent has moderate to strong projection and very good longevity. Must try for lovers of tobacco based fragrances and those into unique, exotic woody scents. Enjoy!

Wanted to try the house as it's got a hefty amount of hype in the artisanal niche-sphere. Blind bught this one as it seemed the safest and I was pretty certain it was going to be a fail. Well, I was happy to be wrong. This is nice wearable excentric sort of scent. It's kind of hard to describe but there is nothing off putting or animalic here, and it smells artsy and peculiar in a good way. Now as for the value here that's hard to justify for a 30 ml, this is expensive and pretty much a 0 chance of getting it cheap, which let's face it is a big downside for most people. That being said I like it, i enjoy it and I bust it out more than I thought I would.
