edenssixthday Report post Posted September 15, 2011 In the corner of a desolate, dismal schoolhouse, all lonely stone walls, beeswax, and dusty wooden writing desks, stirs the scent of gold coins hidden in forest outside Baghdad, waves crashing against the hull of a Salé pirate ship, the lofty halls of Pépin le Bossu’s court, and a wild child’s home in the woods. The School - I didn't care for this when I first tried it when it first came out. It was too cologney. But now... well, aging has been very, very good to it. It's woody and full of sweet, smooth beeswax, has a murky, salt-water feel about it, and I could swear that's golden amber in it (or not. Ha!) No matter what, it's really awesome, and waaaay better than I would have ever expected it would turn out after aging. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eschezhivet Report post Posted April 9, 2012 (edited) It was such a sweet aromatic sort of wood when it first went on, but it got a lot saltier as it dried. Quite literally in olfactory terms, as I haven't got the imagination or know-how to wax too lyrical I'm not sure I smell beeswax at all, or dust, but generally speaking it definitely gives me the impression of old and well-worn wooden things.
