Scent/Fragrance of the Day - 2012

**erickson** · 06-01-2012, 10:57 PM

Notes: Pear, Cognac, Chamomile, Aglaia, Olive, Zdravets, Massoia Bark, Calamus

Opening is awsome with a really nice balance of the ingredients and it is definitely worth the experience. This boozy cognac and pear combination is unique, but the experience is short-lived on my skin and the frag soon becomes too sweet for my taste. Don't get me wrong, for a sweet gourmand I like this one better than most of the genre, just not something I would wear for myself. As with other Slumberhouse frags this one is quite potent and a little bit goes a long ways.

On my skin the frag goes an entirely different direction than on my clothing. On the my skin the booziness is lost within the first 15 minutes, the cognac turns into a sweet caramel with hints of coconut and the pear is lost and this lasts maybe 4 hours. On my clothing the pear in the opening is lost within the first 15 minutes and the frag becomes woodsy and alcoholic in a strange sort of way for several hours, then the alcohol caramelizes and the frag turns sweet as it did on my skin and this lasts for a couple more days. I found it rather interesting that this frag appears to have been more complex on my clothing than it was on my skin.

Creed Bois de Santal.

I picked up a decant of this. It's really a great scent. More similar to LV Sandolo then Santal Imperiale or Santal Nobel. Unfortunately it has no longevity. While I'll have to compare this side by side with the Sandolo I believe the BdS is a bit smoother and more refined.
