Rating: 5Notes: ho wood, animalic musk, patchouliComment: Very musky and woody, yet lightened by almond blossom, and perhaps cypress? I think I smell some star anise or cardamom as part of the "strange spices."Dry on skin:

Rating: 5Notes: muddy earth, unidentifiable fruitComment: Not easy for me to smell the banana in the bottle.Wet on skin:
Rating: 5Notes: musky banana, earthComment: The banana is definitely not forefront in the notes. As if someone had squashed an overripe banana in fresh earth, which is more muddy and wet than dust.Dry on skin:
Rating: 4Notes: dirt, dust, bananaScent Intensity: 5Comment: Dirty, dusky, banana. Very strong cologne-ish scent. Graveyard notes very pronounced, banana not noticeable when smelling skin directly; however, as the perfume wafts, it smells like Runts mixed with drier dirt and dust.Misc:

Rating: 5Notes: nutmeg, sweet-briar, ginger root, lemonComment: The honey is not obvious to me in the bottle and the first scent that comes to mind is the nutmeg.Wet on skin:
Rating:5Notes: sweet-briar, rosemary, lemonComment: Smells very musky. If the musky note is the honey mead it's very different from how honey notes usually smell to me, but I like this honey/musk combo!Dry on skin:
Rating: 4Notes: ??Scent Intensity: 2Comment: I can't identify any notes. It's just a muddled sweety musky scent. I'm surprised the golden mead, fermented fruit, clove, and cinnamon are not very easy for me to detect as these tend to be very loud on my skin. The scent changed on me almost immediately and became barely noticeable / very subtle. Strange!I think this muddled scent is actually a powdery type muddled-ness. It's not bad, but not what I was hoping for.Misc:

Rating: 4Notes: sugar cane, honeyScent Intensity: 1Comment: This faded very fast and I'm not sure I like the residual smell left by it. It's not clearly a honey note; more like the smell of honey I smeared on my skin a week ago and never washed off with soap and water. Again, not as gourmand as I was hoping.Misc:
