First wear

While I'm a huge fan of the Novacaine Handcreme, this was a bulk buy from eBay of ten sample vials that I decanted into a new, unused atomizer bottle, and they may have either been stored improperly or just have aged (these are from lot number two). It just smells a little more sweet/musky than I expected, but that may also be my famously dodgy nose at work as well. It opens with an almost licorice note overlaying florals, drying to a mild wormwood/floral scent that took me a while to get used to, but that is growing on me.
