IgnisCerebrum Report post Posted October 24, 2015 The only way you will be disappointed in this pencil is if you hoped it didn't actually smell like a pencil!The cedar comes through clearly, and I swear I smell the rubber eraser as well. My skin chemistry doesn't change those notes one bit. Single note simplicity here! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kscha2017 Report post Posted October 26, 2015 Open bottle. Laugh with delight. This is a liquefied, old school lead pencil from my childhood. I have always loved their smell. I just didn't realize it until now. I agree with the first reviewer that the scent of the eraser is there. For me, it was a warm scent, more like the eraser bits left on the paper. This is the "sleeper hit" of this Weenie season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
theshapeshifter Report post Posted October 26, 2015 I had hoped to be first to review this one, but third is cool too! Honestly, this was the Halloween scent I was most excited for - partly because I literally burst out laughing when I first saw the name in the update. As soon as my package arrived today, I had to try it. In the bottle: It really IS a pencil! Cedar shavings and a waft of eraser. On skin: Pure cedar shavings at first. After a little while, I swear a hint of graphite comes in - it's like the contents of a pencil sharpener. Nostalgic and delightful. After a couple of hours: Warm cedar, and just a hint of vanilla-type sweetness wafting through. Modest throw, not overpowering. A really nice, friendly scent. Definitely 'pencil', but not disappointing in the least! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
savage_rose Report post Posted October 27, 2015 Wood, pencil shavings, a little graphite...for all the weird kids who used to smell the pencil sharpener as a kid, the perfect scent! Perfect Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dark Alice Report post Posted October 30, 2015 Pencil Shavings, Wood, burning eraser from when you rubbed the eraser to fast as a kid and it got hot...but it smells just like it...and graphite. This is one of the most provocative scents I have ever tried. So glad to get an imp. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
annemathematics Report post Posted November 8, 2015 i know that the joke with cedar as a perfume note is that it can sometimes make a perfume go to pencil shavings. this scent does seem to feature cedar, and it does evoke a pencil, but strangely and funnily enough, it's not doing the "pencil shaving" thing. beautiful cedar wood cologne with something dark, rich and spicey. this is beautiful, and I'm treasuring my decant.

zankoku_zen Report post Posted November 23, 2015 Cedar wood, pencil shavings, graphite. And yes, this smells like a #2 pencil. So not so much a perfume, but an awesome scent experience. On the other hand, if you ever were to dress up in a pencil costume, this would make it super realistic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blood onmy hands Report post Posted July 27, 2016 Always reminds me of Olympic Orchid's Woodcut, but less natural and not as good or complex (though I do still enjoy Disappointing Pencil). I collect the stranger sounding single note blends, so this was a keeper for me. I don't know if it really smells like a pencil to me, but it has a rich, dry wood (yet it smells creamy and soft as well, like a wood that would be easy to carve) and almost a caramelized sweetness to it. I love cedar and this is cedar without cedar's natural spiciness. Somewhere between good cedar and good sandalwood.I don't know if I'm making any sense, but I like this and think that it's a very good wood fragrance.
