This is the darkest and heaviest from the #ALD7 collection initially. Starts with a blast of chocolate-y oud and jasmine. It is sweet, but rugged at the same time. Then it turns greener and sharper quickly; like hands in the dirt, pulling out roots, yet also gets brighter and perhaps a tad herbal. This one is not for me, but interesting and impressive longevity.
