Rotten Badger

Wonderful scent. I bought this for my significant other then quickly stole it so I could use it myself. The first note that I get is the amber, but as it fades it mellows to a really warm spice. This is now my go-to. Love it!

If you have read my review of Rotting Turtle, then you have an idea of were I am coming from when I say that this is a GREAT scent.I'm not a big fragrance or smell person; and my goto cover scent is the chocolatey AxE Dark Temptations.But after trying to branch out with some of Simon's fragrances I'm glad I tried this one.For me, it is the smell of a study: that sweet smell of new books mixed with tobacco and mahogany.The perfect accents to your cleanest pair of dirty jeans and a shirt with buttons.

I was not entriely sure that I could smell it, but then I realized that it is quite strong. It is nice not to be hit by ocean, clean, green or blue herbs, forest, or rubber.

Wall of elegant tobacco, not dirty nor overblown to floral. Not spicy-warm, but more like there's some sharp peppercorn heat. Maybe a little cashmere.

After you notice that the badger had only been rolling in tobacco and ground pepper, you realize that the badger might have also eaten some vanilla-frosted chunks of clear amber resin that had been stored on a tasty dark wood plank that had once been used as a hindquarters scratching post by a beaver and a few cats, but not for a while. Poor badger died of big plank indigestion, but it had a good time on the way.

A welcome contrast against the airy fruit light wooden turtle that drowned in concentrated fabric softener.

I'm kind of hoping that Corpse Flower is going to be a big dirty tuberose zombie with a bit of mold or petrichor that slaps me with a leather glove or sandalwood bat. And that there's no rubber or tea or clean musks.

Drydown follow up: It has been about 5 hours, and it is now a rich cedar-amber base.

Very nice.

After getting this I currently have all the Mens line. This one is the least favorite although I really like it.
First you get the amber with some alcohol that dissapates quickly. When it settles it's to me like a powdery musk with tones of vanilla and sweet tobacco. At first I can see someone not liking it but when it blends with your body chemistry it's a different story. Good tones, not overbearing .
More badger's scrotum than the anus.
