Let's start with Whoa. The moment I sprayed this, it was like a wallop of honey, a hint of citrus and leather. Decadent. But Let me backup for a moment, I blind sniff. I do it for fun, I take notes, I call it 'nose training'. Sometimes I'm really good, sometimes I suck at it. So continuing on. One of my fears is rose, it's always overtaking something that starts out promising. I started wondering if I was getting a whiff of rose with a little incense, but I wasn't mad a it, I was on this sexy, syrupy ride. Mid notes it changed very fast. It went powdery, warm then integrated with honey, sweet vanilla, oud - straight cozy deliciousness. Checking out the actual notes makes sense. Happily no rose! The Thai oud, sandalwood, saffron and osmanthus fit the spots where I was off in my notes. Another hit for Siam 1928 as I journey through the 16 piece discovery set. Oh, and also, I'm a sucker for honey. Take that as you will. Add this one to my wishlist!
