violet
cardamom
cumin
sandalwood

For some reason, I completely missed the briefing that this had cardamom and cumin when I applied it. Cumin is easily the most prominent in the opening hour for me. Not the strongest cumin, but definitely a fragrance that cumin-avoiders should… well, avoid, probably.

I was sort of waiting for the violet to come through more on my skin and this does happen. I get a slightly fruity violet and a powderiness from an hour in. Becoming more easy going, albeit it still mature in style.

Not too heavy, making it less of a daring overall experience, but still one that I could see being very divisive; for me personally it is.
