Invidiana Report post Posted July 4, 2011 I had high hopes for this one because I love the name Xenia which in Greek means "stranger". It was a bit difficult to discern as it settled. It started off with what I'm taking to be a strong black tea note, but dried down to something of a sheer lemony anise. I feel that there is something light and earthy in the background, which I'm guessing is a black tea with a very slight smokiness. It can't be green tea because my skin turns that to Attack of the Lemon Death. There is a moderate sweetness there as well. Overall this reminds me of a cup of licorice tea with a squeeze of lemon and a cube of sugar. It's oddly refreshing though not really my thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bloody sore Report post Posted July 10, 2011 Wow, it's amazing what different noses smell! To me this is patchouli and dirt. Strong, earthy patchouli. Amazing! I can only imagine how this will age. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
saralaughs Report post Posted August 2, 2011 VERY strong patchouli when first applied. This calms down quite a bit after a few minutes. I also get something menthol-like and a lily note. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

zankoku_zen Report post Posted August 4, 2011 Strong patchouli which sort of smells like cedar, dirt, and menthol. Smells like mentholic pencil shavings on me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blood onmy hands Report post Posted August 5, 2011 This kinda reminds me of the bptp Terrae massage oil. Sort of like earthy patchouli, cedar chips, and a hint of medicinal herbs and menthol. It's not something that I really like as a perfume. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Roogna Report post Posted November 19, 2011 Very light and sweet - Floral! almost a fruit note to it as well. I also picking up one of the labs lighter Rose notes (which always are bad on me) very much like one of the lighter Last Unicorn scents... I don't get any earthy or patchouli Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Monday Report post Posted March 13, 2013 I like how everyone gets something else out of this blend. Wet on my skin I get the lab's stone note and anise. It dries down to a pleasant woodsy wet stone scent, it reminds me of the base notes of Tiki King. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cali Report post Posted September 28, 2016 ...Black patchouli? Slightly aquatic and ozone-y. Some sort of white floral and a wood note. Not sure what to think of this. Interesting though! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
