Champagne de Bois Sonoma Scent Studio for women and men

When this developed on me I had one thought: Organza Indecence, the discontinued version which I just tried a few months ago.

This dries down to a similar warm, resinous wood mix with just a touch of edge. i know there aren't that many notes in common between these two, so i'm not sure what i'm picking up on.
(warm spices and woods most likely, as Mals brings up)

This is a good one; i really enjoyed it. The opening is OK, it doesn't get going for me until the 45 min mark. Good longevity, too.

I detect frankinsence and myrr,I am sorry but I don't like frankinsence it reminds of old grannies that burn it in their house.I like vetiver root but here the vetiver seems to be rather under the basement,it is not fresh.Unfortunatelly that's not for me.

I get very little in the way of aldehydes, but plenty of warm spices and woods. This one seems rather linear to me, but deliciously warm and sensual. Very, very long-lasting. Lovely.

This arrived in a batch of samples and I was a little hesitant because I've never been best friends with labdanum. CdB opens with some nice sparkly aldehydes, some tingly citrusy notes and a nice burst of spicy cloves. While the aldehydes settle some and the citrus fades, a lovely warm woods steps up to center stage. The notes list jasmine and I really don't ever see more than a quick whiff in the beginning and the labdanum doesn't show up for me either (which is just fine). After the first half hour where the citrus and sweet cloves are dancing around a candlelit christmas tree, yes that's right a christmas tree, it becomes a buttery, warm somewhat piney scent that brings to mind the most idealic Christmases of your childhood: pressing whole cloves into an orange, something yummy baking somewhere in the background, a crackling fireplace and the tree all alight...the blue light of evening falling over snow...this is a beautiful fragrance and it's the first thing I reach for if there's the slightest chill in the air. Whenever I wear it I get at least one compliment, and requests of what I'm wearing. I know the description says unisex, and for the woodsiness and ambery dry down can see that, but it makes me feel romantic and cuddly, definitely feminine. A couple spritzes will last all day, and you'll be tempted to wear yesterdays sweater for a second day because it'll still smell so good.
