I really adore this, the carnation is on fire. This is very spicy, very electric. The carnation is the focal point and anything else here only serves to lift it up further and further. There is movement, there is wood and fire, there are fields surrounding us and there is a lightness and heaviness dancing together. It creates a wonderful illusion, toppled with the imagery provided by Suleko, I feel transported. When asked the opinion of others, everyone said it reminded them of something nostalgically aged and distant. Something they remember but can't place. I feel that too, but I would go further. It smells like something I remember, but something in a memory that isn't mine at all. I adore it, and I adore how it drives my imagination. Completely unique. 8.5/10 Of all the fragrances here, this is probably my favorite dry down and probably for me the most wearable of the fragrances.

spicy yet light, not heavy, airy and open; hay, clove, amber that is almost floral underneath but not carnation like vintage florientals; smells unique and like nothing else, this house is doing amazing, nonderivative things! get a nose on them

save this one for damp cold mornings and cashmere coats days. Insanely comforting antic woods and powdery resins.

I certainly get the vinegary note, especially from in the opening and towards drydown. It is what makes it hard to wear for me, but it surely is very unique fragrance like none other. The combination of hay and carnation is absolutely intriguing. I only had a sample and for me this would need multiple wears to make my mind up. It's not that it's so complicated, but I feel like I just don't truly understand this yet.

A powdery amber with nutmeg is what stand out to me. On drydown a little sweetness comes out, I think the carnation. Projection and longevity not that great but adequate. I received as a free sample, it's nice but I don't think nice enough to buy a whole bottle.
