This evening, I’ll let my scent write my song. ☺️😂

Might be my longest post so far, so bear with me. Had high hopes after how much I loved Monkey Special. As promised, @Paul Bartnicki , I tried this one out and let’s just say I’m glad I saw your post. Here’s what I think. It opens with crisp and (sexy?) apple, warm saffron, and an amazing rose. Very reminiscent of Byredo Rose of No Man’s Land Absolu. That rich, warm, syrupy rose. About 10 minutes in, the saffron softens a lot and the rose gets deeper. The apple is still present, but now it turns more crystal-sugary, almost candy-like. The leather is super minimal, which is perfect for me since strong leathers aren’t my taste. Close to an hour in, it’s mostly a rose syrup and papyrus fragrance. Super reminiscent of Byredo Eyes Closed, minus the carrot accord. At this stage, the fragrance becomes a bit boring. The addictive appeal dies down slightly. Around the 4-hour mark, it has fully dried down. It’s almost like the fragrance heard my complaint and toned down the rose sweetness. The leather stops being shy and finally shows up, almost like a rockstar leather. Very fitting for Tony Iommi. The leather reminds me of the hard leather cases guitars are transported in. Patchouli and moss support the leather, giving it a dark, almost dirty feel. I didn’t expect to like it this much. I rarely say this, but if there were a fragrance that embodies me, this is the closest one yet. As it stands, this is signature scent worthy. To me, it feels like a great combination of Byredo RONML Absolu and Eyes Closed, leaning slightly masculine. I wish I could layer the two Byredos to see the outcome, but my girlfriend has RONML with her, so that’s not happening for a while. Contrary to what many say, the performance wasn’t a 14-hour beast mode scent. It’s a solid 8-10 hour fragrance, with the first 2 hours almost filling the room. Then it projects strongly within 1-1.5 ft for the next 3 hours. It’s been 6 hours now and it’s around 6 inches and slowly settling into a skin scent. For context, I did 3 sprays.

Does anyone have any experience with this one?
