The boozy incense really does it for me.<br /><br />I also got a sample of Back to Black- and while at first I was iffy about the scent, I found myself spraying the tester more and more...<br /><br />I might have to shoot a hole in my wallet and pick one of the two up.

More so is Nasomatto's Black Afgano, a sweet, smoky, resinous perfume that only qualifies as "not strong" with the very lightest application.

But it's certainly worth investigation, cuz it is indeed a happy ride.

It might not be logical in terms of direct translation of notes, but in spirit, it strikes me as right there. Rubber on the road, tobacco, a schmear of gasoline, and yet it winds up all smelling...good. "Nice," dare I say.

On me, I can't decide whether I've dipped my arm in a vat of smoky lapsang souchong tea, or walked past a huge tire fire. It's one of those scents that I spritz on at night and compulsively sniff in an attempt at mastery.melisand61https://www.blogger.com/profile/12802652658028346558noreply@blogger.com
