CT V Dorian Series: cheshirecat #6 (number rubbed off)

Apr 24, 2009 18:52

Sniffed: Colourless or nearly colourless oil. Nutty, spicy cake. Walnut, I think. And vanilla-foody spice cake. The walnut/spice thing makes me think carrot cake.

Wet: Less foody, more spicy, and I get a bit of the tea note from Dorian. Much more Dorian-ish, though less sweet than Dorian is on me. I believe the spice is cassia, as this isn't too spicy.

Dry: Sweeter, more sugary, and more musky. The cassia is extremely light. The walnut/sugar combo reminds me of the honeyed walnuts I got from Intergalactic.

Later: I think there is ginger in this, too. Since it can't actually be walnut, I'd say the note is a grain of some sort, which gives a vague Dana O'Shee feel.

Summary: Gingered walnutty grains, sugared vanilla tea, and cassia. It still strikes me as a bit foody on drydown, but it's pretty nice. Good throw and longevity, fairly unisex.
