Oh Reflection! This scent is a recurring mystery to me. It has the tart quality of Weinstrasse, Armonía, and DFTR, but I have no way of describing it, and it flirts with bay, which in more prominent settings makes me nauseous, yet this thing smells good! To add to my confusion, my wife came sniffing me and said “oh, Christmas boy”. I’ve never thought of this as in any way seasonal. I’m going to have to reflect some more on this.
