A classic Victorian men’s cologne: a lavender fougere, with hints of lilac, lime, and citrus musk.
To stab my youth with desperate knives, to wear
This paltry age’s gaudy livery,
To let each base hand filch my treasury,
To mesh my soul within a woman’s hair,
And be mere Fortune’s lackeyed groom, — I swear
I love it not! these things are less to me
Than the thin foam that frets upon the sea,
Less than the thistle-down of summer air
Which hath no seed: better to stand aloof
Far from these slanderous fools who mock my life
Knowing me not, better the lowliest roof
Fit for the meanest hind to sojourn in,
Than to go back to that hoarse cave of strife
Where my white soul first kissed the mouth of sin.
A sophisticated traditional gentleman’s cologne, with just the slightest taint of patchouli’s passion, tonka bean’s decadence, the philanthropy of bergamot, moss’ cynicism, the sharp wit of lavender, and the hopeless romantic longing of jasmine and thyme.
And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.
Nobility and haughtiness befitting the Antichrist: sage, carnation and cedar with lavender, vanilla, white musk and leather.
And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see.
A gentlemen’s lavender-citron cologne unhinged by the feral pungence of black musk and a paroxysm of pennyroyal.

I hope you like mint, because it’s not subtle in this blend.

In the bottle, I got a very aggressive lavender. Wet it smelled very green with lavender taking a step back with notes that were much closer to freshly mown grass. This turns a slightly soapy on me when dry, but reminds me of crushed wet herbs. I get very little lime. Very nice, pleasing scent. I think it would be hard for anyone to dislike it. A good daytime scent.

Herbal and a bit creepy. This scent is a Slytherin.
As a general rule I loathe lavender. I love this scent.

The smell of the green herbs were too powerful at first, but as the time passed by, a colorful smell developed. It doesn’t stay for long, but as the time lapses, you can witness the lime and the lavender slowly lingering. Just a reminder, it’s pretty strong.

This is like Hermione’s Amortentia. Fresh cut grass, and… Okay so it’s like 1/3 of Hermione’s Amortentia. I smell lavender, lime, and grass. Like summer! Definitely a surprise keeper for me!

This is definately for the lavander lovers out there. Very authentic, herbal lavander with a crisp zestiness from the lime and mint. This is a very relaxing scent, something you’d smell at the spa while wrapped in a fluffy, white robe.

In the imp: Sharp lavender, mint, and herbs.
Wet: Lavender, mint, and lime emerge first, but the herbs are becoming more prominent as the scent sits on my skin. The mint note in this is a bit menthol-like, and the lavender is that of the medicinal variety. The herbs, like the lime, are very green. It isn’t long before they dominate the scent.
Dry: The scent is very green now, with the herbs taking the center stage. The lavender, lime, and mint notes are still present, but they are now content with background roles.
Verdict: This scent really fits the saying that one is ‘green with envy’ really well, but even though I like lavender and mint, this just isn’t for me.

I never would have purchased this on a whim without having first smelled it. Wet, this scent is not too appealing. I smelled like toothpaste. Once dry, it is very green with a soft breath of the lavender. Very refreshing. The lime and mint are ever so subtle, and add complexity without smelling aseptic or toothpaste-y. Really like this one!
