Wearing Wood Infusion again—I like the opening so much i want to love the whole thing. Working really well: cool night after a hot day. Enjoying it a lot again, it’s stayed sweet and creamy.

Hot day
1.5ml sample
Nice citrus, a bit of a ginger sting, goes floral but nicely. Citrus actually lingers. Wearing it on a very hot day, walking to shops etc. nice, light.
All these citruses are starting to smell the same, could probably buy any of them…
Seems discontinued.

Soapy and bitter, very close to dog soap again. Feels a purple colour…fades away to very light nothing pretty quickly, thank fuck.

Night
2ml sample
Bodywash and toothpaste. Fresh and minty. It’s not unpleasant, but why would I spend money to smell like a bit of old chewy.

Sunset
2ml sample
Big sweet smell, sharp like caramelised sugar, slightly soapy, rubber/plastic. Raspberry, bitterness of quandong. Not enjoying this, okay if you smell in passing rather than put your nose right up to it. If you can stick with it for a few hours it gets creamy and sweet with a little bitter edge, but i don’t think i can again. Nothing sunset about it.

Warm afternoon
1.5ml sample
Fresh citrus, sweet, a bit floral. gets more floral, white flowers/orange blossom. Probably too sticky-floral for me, but will keep the tester.
Vibes not smells: friendly, casual, fresh clothes in the sun, hot summer garden.
A few hours later there wasnt much smell, but my skin smelt warm like I’d been in the sun.

2ml sample
Just getting a big ball of flowers, like a florist. Powdery, a bit stuffy, tickles my nose. When it dries i get coconut, but not obnoxiously. Not into these kinds of smells on myself or others. Vanilla a half hour later as other things tone down. A little smokey, getting okay actually! Still it’s the same as every other vanilla/musk perfume.

Bitter citrus very briefly. Mostly body wash, fake mint, toothpaste, but actually okay. Gets right up my nose in an annoying way. A hint of woodyness later. Might be nice for Summer by a pool, but the Creed branding grosses me out.

First impression is of a nice, light, fresh, masala chai. Cinnamon, cumin, cardamom, . . . Would be nice in warm weather; spring, summer. Later it seems a bit harsh and perfumey, but also kinda nothing?

Nice and sweet at the start, vanilla, almost honey. Like it less later, just patchouli, oud, lavender balanced in a way I don’t quite like.

Night, home
1.5ml sample
Was worked up about the football, so put this on to calm me down. Big powerdery puff of baby oil. Was too strong when I went to bed, had to wash off a bit.
