I caved and purchased this after EiiR passed away. Reminds me of a room with wood-panelled walls, floral carpets, dusty old books, with French doors opening out onto a garden of flowers and herbs after the rain.... perhaps you're sitting there with a bowl of honeyed porridge and a cup of builders tea and a newspaper. It is reminiscent of BDK's Gris Charnel but has a different angle. This smells very warm, smooth and ambery and though it is quite sweet it is very sophisticatedly done - blended with greenery, flowers, spices and fruits. It is not cloying at all... a good all-year-round signature type of scent but might be best in the evening in the summer and spring months. I like it a lot.
