Golden oil. Heavy florals, herbs, soil, and maybe some Spanish moss? Reminds me of Jazz Funeral.

Again, heady florals, dirt, moss and perhaps a hint of rum. The florals I want to say rose, since I get a rose tinge to it, but it could also be rose geranium. Very much like Jazz Funeral.

I agree with the comparison to Jazz Funeral. There are heady florals here, with some dirt and a little bit of rum. It's kind of "perfume-y" for me though.

This smells sort of like peppery spices at first. On skin the pepperyness turns to a peppery greenness with a floral edge, like geranium or something. It also gets a bit of soapiness going on. The florals continue to amp on me, and the peppery-green bite that it had at first subsides. After reading other reviews I tried to find dirt and I'm not sure I do... there is something dark down at the bottom though, but I have a hard time making it out around the florals that are punching me in the head. Not sure about rum, either, but it could be. I do find this perfumey. But it's also dark and somber, sort of a melancholy floral perfume. Not something I'm going to wear, but for a floral it's not actually that bad in that it's not giving me an instant splitting headache.

I get wet black dirt from the vial and a strong medicinal camphor note. On application, the camphor reads as cypress or black pine resin. It smells black and piney. I also get Spanish moss, although the dirt vanishes on my skin. There *may* be florals in here, but this is not reading as a floral blend, and I get the mental impression of hellebore, lilies of the valley, and other florals either relating to funerals or to overgrown forests.
