For a moment, Richard was blinded by the sudden light. He was standing in a huge, vaulted room, and underground hall, filled with firelight and smoke. Small fires burned around the room. Shadowy people stood by the flames, roasting small animals on spits. People scurried from fire to fire. It reminded him of hell—or rather, the way that he had thought of Hell as a schoolboy. The smoke irritated his lungs, and he coughed. A hundred eyes turned, then, and stared at him; a hundred eyes, unblinking and unfriendly.
A snuffling, brown scent: earthy patchouli, sage, russet sandalwood, grimy leather, fig leaf, and lemongrass.
Gaily bedight,
A gallant knight,
In sunshine and in shadow,
Had journeyed long,
Singing a song,
In search of Eldorado.
But he grew old
This knight so bold
And o’er his heart a shadow
Fell as he found
No spot of ground
That looked like Eldorado.
And, as his strength
Failed him at length,
He met a pilgrim shadow
“Shadow,” said he,
“Where can it be
This land of Eldorado?”
“Over the Mountains
Of the Moon,
Down the Valley of the Shadow,
Ride, boldly ride,”
The shade replied
“If you seek for Eldorado!”
Copal resin incense blowing through halls of dazzling gold.
Bold, bright mandarin paired with the sweet, sensual earthiness of fig.
A lethal poison bundled up in a dainty, innocent little package that was oft times found in ancient witches’ flying ointments and astral projection balms. A warm, soft, ruddy scent, earthy and mild.

On me, it has a really clean aftershave/Carmex/menthol scent with a very slight sweet spice undertone that gets more pronounced the longer it’s on. Overall really universally pleasant and not aggressively strong, it’s a very ‘im not wearing perfume, I just smell good’ type of scent.

Got this as a frimp. In the bottle it has a definite patchouli scent to it. On the skin for me it turns almost papery scent w/ a mix of leather handbag, menthol cigarettes and baby powder. For me it’s not a winner because me and patchouli don’t get along, but i thought i’d give it a shot. This is a very gender neutral fragrance though. If you like minty, earthy scents, give it a shot.

Amazing, luxe leather and spice. I was disappointed the bottle I ordered was not as papery as the imp, but I’m hoping some paper notes might develop in time. With the strong paper notes, it reminded me of a fresh, leather-bound journal. Without, I’ve had friends comment on it being too incense-y. It’s still a favorite of mine though. The scent is good when it first arrives, but even better after it’s aged a month.

I have started forcing my boyfriend to wear this because I love it, but already have a million other things I want to wear (thanks BPAL, I’m addicted to you).
In the vial: Woody, musky, mossy, leather, spice and a hint of a dark sweetness (almost like a chocolate smell).
On *my* skin: The sweetness really comes out. Smells like chocolate woods.
On *his* skin: Leathery. Extremely mossy and spicy. Just like a cigar shop or humidor that has been used for years.

This is one of my favorites for day to day wear. It starts out down to earth, but not in an actual dirt or hippy patchouli kind of way. This smells expensive. Then it is kind of golden. But it also becomes papery like bills of money, and the expensive leather of a fine leather purse. To me, this is what wealth and confidence smell like. It drys down to a very pleasant skin scent and lasts and lasts. After several hours on me, it smells somewhat vanilla and still expensive.

Earthy, dark, and uncomplicated. There is no sweetness to this; it’s confident enough without it.
Money, power, disregard.

I recently received a frimp of this. After a full body test, it reminds me of well circulated monetary notes that have spent time in leather wallets. A dark, assertive and slightly sexy blend that morphs slightly after a few hours of wear into a lighter more powdery scent. Medium sillage and throw.

Wet: Patchouli mostly, plus something bright. When fresh on my skin, a note like thuja or cedar wood comes out, very warm and woodsy.
Dry: Still patchouli with a bit of spice. And it fades pretty quickly. Not very inspiring on me.
