Another by this house that bullies me

I think Matiere Premiere’s overriding dna is something I don’t mesh with. They use an enormous amount of Ambroxan (or the fixative ambrofix or the like) and I’m sensitive to it when it’s at a specific concentration—It becomes ALL I can smell, the aromachemical bullying the other notes and my olfactory receptors into hiding. I came for the iris and fled into witness protection.

    I’m the same and it’s sad. Milk Orchid should have all the notes I love but I can only smell Ambroxan.

    Yea same feeling with encense suave, is not bad on itself, but that ambrox kills the entire thing making it feel atomically chemical
