Joe: I can’t decide either on a whole bottle…an investment! I wore Dzongkha along with this for two days and felt the incense note is very similar (though of course joined by different ingredients). I love the opening best, too.

On other matters: The “marine” Bois 1920 you bought has me drooling and I’ve not smelled it. So, you’ve paid me back in creating a desire I must go to great lengths to investigate! HA!

I love Dzongkha, though I don’t feel much similarity here. I also love a rhubarb note, and this one is TANGY. With the astringency of the tomato leaf (another note I enjoy), it really makes the scent open with a burst. Where it gets odd for me is later in the development when the florals and incense come in — it’s as if something very sharp and tangy were layered over a more traditional perfume. Very yin-yang with two dissimilar feelings going on at once. That’s what makes it interesting and perplexing.

Smokey: it lasted a good five or six hours on me…with my usual, ten to fifteen spritzes.

Martitia: hope you enjoy it!
