    I love the layering you created, need to try it 💚

    How spicy is this? Is the perfume sweet at all in your opinion? I just smelled Dulce de Cuerpo and am having a soil scent kick❤️

      To my nose, zero spice, if you mean spice such as cinammon, clove, pepper. It’s extremely fresh - a slight bitterness such as you would expect from broken plant stems. I suspect it’s that they mean on Fragrantica by “green spicy.” Very realistic tomato vine to me, with some bright citrus, and maybe very gentle floral of some kind, but not in a way that I could pick out the kind, if it’s actually there at all. The soil is not forefront to me, but must certainly support. I think it’s exceptionally well-done. Side note, Christopher Brosius created or had a huge hand in creating “Dirt,” which is still sold by Demeter, a company he began. While I don’t live everything he creates, I do think he’s extraordinary. Highly recommended getting some samples from him!

      Whoopsie - sweetness = also no, not really. There is perhaps a sweetness to it, but it is in no way “sugar,” or “honey.” More like the sweetness you might get from a tomato or other vegetable.

    How is the longevity? I love their soil-y stuff but it never lasts on me. I’ve only ever tried the water perfume, so that might affect it too.

      Yes, I agree that the water vs. oil would likely affect it. Longevity for this one is about 6 hours for me before it gets harder to detect. Wild Hunt from CB is about 8. I do use Vanicream and a little argan or jojoba oil to moisturize the areas I apply, and that really helps!

      Good to know! I Just deleted my scathing review of Black March until I try an absolute.

      Oh, noooo! I love. Black March! 😂 It’s been about a month since I’ve worn it. But I ‘d be happy to do a test run with it tomorrow and report back. I’ve been considering getting samples of a couple of my favorite CBIHP in the water spray for layering. I do know most people report that longevity is not great for them.
