Lumberman’s opening spooked me a bit. I get a strong bacon-esque smokiness, but greener… but wrapped in a leather jacket.

I’m really surprised I didn’t dislike it, giving my taste and how it comes across. It’s supposed to smell like a leather workshop and it definitely does achieve that goal. Leather, rubber, metal all come to mind.

It’s less green than in the initial spray. There’s a sweeter tinge that I love in here, probably from the Cambodian oud. It’s slightly animalic, mostly peppered leather.

Not for the faint of heart, but rather beautiful at the same time. I could do without the opening, but overall I appreciate this.
