ERIK 2009 (Dark Delicacies: Great Duets in Horror): (Company says: Resin-coated wood, kerosene, oil, leather, musty velvet, and dust from the Grand Drape.)
In bottle: Yum. I love the resin coated wood, the kerosene/oil note is unusual, but fascinating doing cool things with the cloth elements. It’s a little like Mechanical Phoenix and Shadwell had a son. Wet: Very sexy. I love the way the resins sweeten the sharper elements. It feels a little like Jolly Roger while smelling more like several steampunk scents. It’s got a pleasant steampunk aftershave thing going on. I’m really liking the cloth elements as well, which really do give one a sense of theater curtains and old costumes. Dry: the wood deepens and grows richer, the dust transforms into a very light sandalwood. The kerosene/oil softens with wear. The whole thing is stunning.
