The ambergris is doing the heavy lifting here. Not skatole-animalic, but that same warm, slightly feral sweetness that makes skin smell like skin. This is ambergris at its most expressive.Young Pretender
The candied apple opening is the hook. Then the absinthe cuts through, green, bitter, a little feral. That contrast is the whole point. The people who get it, get it.Witch
