Boston Ivy
by D.S. & Durga

Lime, Hops Flower, Green Pepper, Grass, English Ivy, Ocean Water, Savory, Oakmoss, Earth-Dirt, Galbanum

Definitely the least impressive so far and about what you'd expect from something called Boston Ivy. It's green and fresh. However, there is a very interesting turpenic note in the opening that caught me by surprise and comes across as a combination of galbanum and frankincense in a weirdly good way. It even has a slightly peppery note in there just to spice it up. However, it doesn't last long the whole thing quickly devolves into the house base accord of ambrette and musk, just like the others. Frankly I don't smell bad at all, quite nice, actually, but it's hard to get overly excited about yet another fresh, green fragrance.

Went to my barber to get a haircut and stopped by the mall to give a test of:

A female friend recommended it saying 'It's, hands down, the best scent I've ever smelled on a guy. I wish my boyfriend wore it, but he hates it'. We'll see:
Top: Apple, Persimmon, Pear
Heart: Juniper, Cedar, Jasmine
Base: Tonka Bean, Musk, Mahogany, Patchouli, Sweet Almond.
