Ryan Hemphill Report post Posted December 21, 2015 (edited) Dreary and dark, heavy with sorrow: vetiver and raw leather suffused with amber oudh and nagarmotha. This hair gloss it just superb. It's leather-heavy, with amber highlights and a touch of vetiver in the background. Everything is blended so perfectly. The leather is a med-brown raw piece of leather in my mind when I smell it. Soft, and not glossy. It's so distinct to me I could even tell you what it feels like. The amber and oudh are just enough to take it from a raw, masculine feel to an expensive, luxurious unisex perfume scent. The vetiver appears at the tail end with just a little zing to my nose. I'm not sure what nagarmotha smells like, so I can't really pick it out. I haven't been able to stop smelling my hair since I put it on, it's such an amazing scent and I'm glad I took a gamble on it! I like to pair my hair gloss with my perfume oil scent-of-the-day and this is going to be just perfect for my leather-forward blends, but will also add a neutral pairing to my amber and woody scents.

Jilara Report post Posted January 27, 2016 Whoah! This stuff is both amazing and powerful. I am glad I tried it in the evening, at home, as I don't want to overwhelm the office. I will start by saying I'm a big fan of Drakkar Noir men's cologne. This really reminds me of those notes, but with an herbal undertone I can't quite place. It could be the nagarmotha? (BTW, I read that nagarmotha is a mosquito repellent, so this might be great to spray on before going hiking.) I got this because I am a vetiver fan, and there is serious vetiver in this gloss. The amber and leather mellow it, so it's not quite as sharp as it might be. There is a slight element of spice that's not listed, but I keep picking up in background. I like masculine-smelling herbals, so this is definitely a keeper. I keep thinking of how fantastic this would smell on Dear Husband's hair, as it's definitely something a sexy guy would totally rock. It would make an amazing expensive-smelling aftershave.

stubbornfire Report post Posted January 28, 2016 Before I start- I put a bit on my skin as my hair doesn't do well with oils/glosses. That said... Oh my goodness. I wish I had plays-nicely-with-others hair cause wow. I don't get much leather but I do get a gorgeously mixed spicy herbal-y amber & oud-y masculine leaning androgynous scent that is just good! Very good!! It almost smells "clean" as it's drying/absorbing up, to be honest. Maybe like a hot woodsy guy took off his woodsy guy coat and it clung to his skin for awhile but his clean skin smell is showing up now. Gosh I want more of this!!

annemathematics Report post Posted February 3, 2016 absolutely beautiful and I agree with the drakkar reference. not a dead ringer but reminding me of that style of scent. deep dark with a shiny, gritty zing to it. the listed notes are there, but they all play together so smoothly; it's all about the blend. hubba hubba. big throw, long lasting. a nice alternative to the stunning vanilla or floral glosses that post usually offers. thank you, goblins for this treat!

zankoku_zen Report post Posted February 4, 2016 Oddly enough, I just get a very earthy smell which I assume is the nagamortha, amber and oudh. It's mainly an deep earthy amber-oudh blend. Dark, earthy, amber Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Convallaria Report post Posted March 1, 2018 Another hair gel that is sweeter on me than I expected. There's a refreshing swirl of vetiver and leather at the opening, but after that amber gradually takes over. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
