I'm not sure if you've had this

issue but I've found some of the deeper notes in fragrances/oils can really latch onto none or npa/te and form

something that just gets worse over time. Any...

online I presume?

Interesting.

I'd like to try a cheap version myself at a shop. Even if it's just

diluated, just to get a general sense of what this stuff is like.

Someone told me it smelled like

pinetar.

Is it really that good or one of these things that's an acquired taste?

I

think the lesson with any of these deep base notes is use very little. What might smell too powerful in high

concentrations might smell very nice as a complement to your pallet.
