All I get is the bay myrtle and olive leaf, EWWW. I would never want to spray this around my dwelling.

I got mostly the goat's milk (like a cream, only a musky edge to it), when I was hoping for more fig. It kind of made me smell like a cookie. Very soft, was much more foody than I was expecting. It's still nice, and I'd be interested to see how it smells on a guy.

I got Yew Trees as a frimp with my recent order, so I thought I'd post a quick review. (I had no idea of the notes when I went to smell it.)

In the imp: My, that's piney. And is that...menthol? I hate the menthol smell, so I pretty much got immediately turned off.

Wet: Sharp pine, like Pine-Sol. I would much prefer any yule pine scent over this, it's just way too caustic.

Dry: It disappeared on me nigh instantaneously. The pine's mellowed out, but you'd really have to slather yourself to smell it without having your nose on your skin the entire time. I definitely would recommend buying yule scents if you're looking for a more pleasing pine scent.

Got this as a lab-fresh frimp, I was scared by the darkness at first. (Generally I avoid all of the "almost black as night" scents.)

In bottle: Wow, that's some vetiver all right. @_@

Wet: It reminds me of an old farm & tractor store that's not cleaned well - yknow the kind, with thick oil smells, dirt, old birdfeed and other kinds of animal feed...

Dry: It "settles down" pretty nicely, but it's still "hey-o vetiver" - reminds me of a calendar model who drives tractors or is spending lots of time getting dirty. I think it'd be a pretty sexy masculine scent, but I could never imagine me wearing this, ever.
