DEATH OF THE GRAVE DIGGER (Salon, Exhibit I): (Company says: Snow, soil, opoponax and myrrh.)
In bottle: They are not kidding about the soil. The oponax sharpens it. With the myrrh there is a definite sense of incense covering decay. This is sharp and wet and viciously earthy. Wet: fascinating in it’s invocation of winter slush and forest stillness. I’m really liking this more because of its abrasiveness than in spite of it. I love this, I really do, though it’s clearly not for everyone. It is bizzre to be testing this in summer when it smells so strongly of Winter. Plenty of throw, BTW. Dry: Sweeter on the dry down, but just as interesting.
