West Third Brand: Arabesque
This is a soft oriental. While the description states "a touch of birch tar" I find that the birch and olibanum notes are the strongest on me. It seems to be wearing as a green, tart, incense-like birch with floral (jasmine ?) layered over a ever so slightly sweetened sandalwood base with just a hint of smoky patchouli. This feels very much like a Spring scent to me. And, while I wasn't so sure when I first sprayed it on, I'm really beginning to like this the longer it wears.
"An intricate and mysterious maze of patchouli, exotic jasmine and ylang ylang accented with warm, rich tones of sandalwood, olibanum, and vanilla, all muddled with the rind of Moroccan lemon and a touch of birch tar."
