Dark Alice Report post Posted August 19, 2018 Fucking hipsters. Sweet tobacco and raw patchouli with Italian bergamot, pine needle, vintage dime store musk, and red sandalwood. Welp. Sadly this is my first fail. The sweet tobacco and dime store musk...are a nauseating combination on my skin. I amp metal, so I should have known that when Beth said dime, she meant it. I am releasing this out into the world in hopes that someone else will like it. Thank God it's only an imp. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lucchesa Report post Posted August 28, 2018 You know how sometimes the moment you first sniff a new scent, you feel an instant emotional connection with it and pray it won't fall to pieces when you put it on your skin? And then when you do, it's even better than it was in the imp or bottle and you're flying high on a new love? That's me with the Emperor's Beard. And I'm not even particularly fond of facial hair (fucking hipsters). Resniffing the decant, I'm not even sure what grabbed me. It's sharp tobacco, almost camphorous patch, sharp pine needle. But these are notes that tend to soften beautifully on my skin, and within minutes the tobacco becomes the most gorgeous sweet tobacco, and the patch and the pine just spread out a musky blanket beneath the tobacco tree and lounge. I'm not able to pick out the bergamot or sandalwood, but who cares, this is gorgeous on me. It would smell magnificent on a guy too, if I had one who would be willing to try it. Bottle.

zankoku_zen Report post Posted September 12, 2018 Tobacco, musk, touch of patchouli and sandalwood. This is a musky manly tobacco blend and I really enjoy it. Good throw and wear length. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
torikitty Report post Posted September 16, 2018 Surprisingly, the bergamot and pine needle end up taking over. Wet, it's definitely tobacco, but drydown let's those other notes come out. It's more masculine in my opinion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Teamama Report post Posted September 16, 2018 Whoa baby! This is fantastic. It's like the best possible distillation of positive masculine smells for me. It's like Beth got cotton t-shirts worn by my father, husband & son, dipped them in a bucket of St. Clare, and bottled it. I am totally hooked. This has grabbed me by the heart. Bottle required.

Casablanca Report post Posted September 25, 2018 Wet: Mm, lots of handsome patchouli, with a bare hint of tobacco. There was cologne, too, which I was not loving as much, but the patch was sure attractive. Dry: The cologne calmed down, except to just barely nuance the patchouli. From then on, I just got the patchouli, with its adult nuance. After a while, the blend turned a bit powdery on me, so it was a powdery patchouli. Loved the patch.
