The Shivering Boy

The scent of frozen, dormant vineyards, bitter sleet, and piercing ozone, hurled through labdanum, benzoin, and olibanum.

This was one I highly anticipated because it sounded so unique. And unique it is- I get a bit of grape, but not nearly as sweet as a typical grape scent. The part about bitter sleet is very true. As it dries, the ozone gets a bit stronger, as do the resins. I'm not sure, but I think I'd like the scent better without the ozone. It's never a strong scent, or a long-laster. I do like it well enough to keep the imp. It's so different, it's hard to know what to make of it.

3.5/5
