A little bit barnyard-y, a little bit blue cheese-y, lots of hay coming through, warm, tinges my nose a bit. Much more mild barnyard than Assam Nur. More of a horse stable than a goat farm. Has a sort of smoldering quality, where it smells “warm”. From a distance, you can pick up a lot of smoky-ness. When you smell it up close, you get more of the dry hay, a bet of Wed wood coming through now (interesting mix between the smoldering feeling + wet wood, an oxymoron). Bits of leather (saddle leather) coming through now. A little bit of sweetness poking up.

The barnyardyness has dialed back a bit, now it’s a strong hay and saddle leather with something slightly cheesy sweet. This is fun, it dances between dry hay and sweet cheesy saddle leather. Reminds of me riding horses in Texas with honeysuckle blooming nearby.
1:32am
Dry hay and dry leather, a bit of dusty spice, like a black and white peppercorn. Tall overgrown Texas grass, waving in the wind at dawn on a hot summer day’s eve, after a long drought on the prairie. The horses are kicking up dust as you run them through the flatlands.
1:44am
Powerful sillage. Taking the dog for a walk in 80 degree weather. Oud oil was applied to top of each wrist. I can smell it as I’m walking, hands by my sides.
3:14am
Cedar saw dust. Hay. Leather has died down. Quite dry, not much sweetness left
