This is really interesting in its layers - I detect a green-ness, a sharpness, warm and bright notes. It is resinous and a little earthy. Is nicer when my skin isn't PMSd, but overall the dynamic quality is muted by sweetness of a faintly licorice-quality. Swapped for now, but see about scoring an aged imp later.
