...mmmrm. I am very curious, but unsure if I am that patient. Perhaps, perhaps I will ask around for aged imps. 'Cause the fresh stuff made my eyes water, and that was violently disappointing, as I love everything in it.

What I tried was a partial bottle left over from a decant circle a year ago. I would think anyone who got a decant when the snake pit was first released, and didn't like SSV, would have a nicely aged sample by now.

Hmmm... It's been a long, long time since I've done a swap/sales post - wonder if maybe I still have my decant of that one? Must check.

When fresh, it was too raw and harsh for my nose, but aged... maybe...

Thank you for the recommendation!
I admit it was one of the Snake Pit that I did not like because of that cinnamon note...

I will re-test it because I know my decant is at least 6 months old now
