“I've don't know what the original smells like, so this is not a commentary on that, but my initial reaction to this was a genuine recoil.
The scent to me, is reminiscent of being at the dentist, a clinical, bitter scent. After about 15 minutes, the woodiness is there, but it is still unpleasant, and seems to have opened into a tobacco smell (not in the nice way). Disappointed, but at the sample price, I'm ok with having tried it out.”
