LizziesLuck Report post Posted June 7, 2016 Red musk, vanilla cream, black tea, black pepper, leather, and pie. I've had my eye on this for a while. Recently I was purchasing something else from the Lab's Etsy, and snagged this as well. Wet: Mmm, red musk, with a lot of sweetness, just like I like it! It makes for an interesting sexy/gourmand combo that I adore. In the same vein as Elephantine Colossus, which is one of my fave red musks, and also akin to Now Winter Nights Enlarge, and even Red Lace to some extent - sweet creamy complex red musk. LOVE. Dry: I am so happy with this, it's just what I had hoped! The leather hasn't ruined it like I feared (it's iffy on me) in fact, I can't even detect it. This is just sweet, creamy, slightly gourmand red musk. To die for! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cali Report post Posted June 28, 2016 Mmm lovely, sweet pie and red musk on the frontline, as the more spicy notes compliment it greatly. On my skin it morphs to a very sugary mint/liquorice candy cane with a lot of red musk. A great holiday scent!A bit too liquorice-y for me personally, but otherwise an absolute pleasure to sniff!

Fish That Swims Report post Posted August 4, 2017 I've been in love with this one for about a year. A very rich spiced cream over a rich deep smooth musk. The tea, pepper, and leather all melt together and I think it's what's making the somewhat licorice-like spice. Not sharp at all. It only occasionally reads as licorice to me, but I know what people are talking about. (I like licorice anyway.) The pie brings sweetness and a bit of a buttery feel, but despite that and the cream, it's not a gourmand fragrance. I do think of it as a holidays/wintertime fragrance but I think the soldier is a delight any time of the year. Rich, smooth, and sultry in a masculine way.

Spaztic Report post Posted August 6, 2017 The one is Red Musk dominant for sure. In the opening I also get a strong scent that smells like sarsaparilla and black liquorice had a baby, it's pretty cool It starts to get a little creamy and vanilla-y in the dry down but remains mostly red musk I'm unable to pick out the pie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
roseus Report post Posted January 18, 2018 This starts off as a nice creamy red musk, but shifts to a musky red licorice that's not really my speed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
