Black

I recieved samples of Undergreen Gold, Pink, White and Black. I'm not really a fan of any of them but OMG . . . I'm in TOTAL and ABSOLUTE agreement with Parfumista2010's assessment and description of Black . . . . burnt car tires . . . . my nose can find nothing else. I'm just starting to explore niche and natural perfumery but I'm beginning to think that my nose if just not sophisticated enough to appreciate some of these "unique" creations.

Is the appeal of this to bring the childhood memories of climbing up trees with friends, trailing muddy boots through neighbours houses on quests, pulling worms apart to see if they still wriggle and putting these snapshots into an urban, sterile, office environment, almost as if your former self is gloating 'look what you're missing' at you whilst you file office documents and order printer cartridges in your grey two piece suit and modest office shoes? To encourage you to organise a corporate paintball excursion? Ed: it doesn't last (on me) for very long which I'm not unhappy about. It smells like an outdoors object, like the handle of a rake or a pile of old rope. Great if that's what you're after, but this isn't for me. ed v2: I decided I would never wear it so gave it to my father, he is very much an outdoorsman (I am conversely a townmouse) and he is happy with it for all the reasons I was unhappy. Horses for courses, isn't it.

I had such high hopes for this one. The idea of wearing a an "eco-green" scent was very appealling. The first snif its a blast of incense and peper. Could be that oud is also present but my nose is overwhelmed by the incense. Reminds me of ancient churchs. The coffe note and tonka bean became more and more noticable and then is gone. Did not detect ginger. The coffee note is quite pleasant, but is fleeting.

This is one of the few scents where the top note almost made me sick (another infamous example of that sort is Aoud Cuir d ́Arabie by Montale). Horrible, hideous, terrible, despisable, intolerable...call it what you like. I just cannot appreciate this one. There were no woods, no spices, just burnt car tires. Maybe you are luckier than me. This one would be a very risky blindbuy. Very risky :-/

Alas,I've tested on me this perfume,but it's very weak. The idea and packaging are interesting as the fragrance but on the skin she has no sillage and short life. Try before buy.

The oud, incesnse, licorice, guauic wood, cinnamon, coffee and pepper look promising. Im a lil concerned about the tonka bean being in the heart, i hope its not too strong.

This looks like one of the most beautiful oriental/spicy compositions of perfumes that I've seen in awhile. Looking forward to smelling it!

Lebkuchen, which won't be everyone's cup of tea. If you like the mellow, malty, spicy winter treat, however, this will make you smile.
