Not sure where my review is, perhaps it's just another one that was forgotten about because I tried this when it came out and remember it not living up to my high expectations. However upon wearing again, I'm much more understanding and sympathetic with it's themes. I love a good tea biased accord and it's pretty prominent in here backed up by a leathery woods. The birch tar smokiness and peppery notes are very subtle and chime well with the inherent smokiness of the tea but there's a brightness here too. The drydown is one of leather but there's a sweet fruity note, I'm not entirely convinced but I definitely enjoyed it more this time. Masque are yet to show me something I didn't think was of some creative interest.
Love it, it's a minty, smooth, warm, anisic, unctuous brew, rather like a mix of oily oolong teas and mint stems. Thank you JR for not dosing it with the usual norlimbanol and/or woody amber screech! The dry down sees the mint subside and the raspberry come forward to sweeten the tea, it's wonderful and I can't stop sniffing myself.
