Chaos Theory III: The Edge of Chaos - DCCCLXXI (871)
In the bottle: Dark honey/light amber coloured oil. Fresh, herbal, woodsy. Clean, almost soapily so. Masculine, verging on cologne-y.
Wet: Sweeter, less sharply herbal, but still fresh and outdoorsy. Fir or cypress? Some sort of gentle evergreen, and some deeper green resins too. Hint of soapy, slightly heady floral.
Dry: Morpher. That floral has emerged further but it hasn't gone too soapy. It's slightly bitter, not sweet, and sort of herbal but definitely a flower. A nice light musk has emerged.
Later: Ahh a note that's been nagging reveals itself as the slick sort of leather, and the evergreen is a piney sort of deep tea note. The floral is chrysanthemum, and this reminds me a helluva lot of Daiyu.
Summary: Tea leaf, brightly herbal chrysanthemum, slick leather and light musk. Unisex to masculine. Fresh, clean. Reminds me strongly of Daiyu without the juicy-medicinal acai or jasmine note. Lowish throw and lasting power.
It's a bit masculine for me but I'm hanging on to my imp. :D
