From the brand -
"Today I remembered what comes after.
I remembered my lost embers…
Novembers, Decembers.
When most prepared for the cold, it was already around me.
And when most prepared for the warmth, I was stuck chasing it. ...
I am the son of the whitest flower and the blackest leaves.
I am the abandoned home searching for its lost keys.
I allow the light you left inside of me to burn free.
And I thank you."
Fragrantica - "This is a better, sweeter By The Fireplace! Honestly so wearable and pleasant, whilst still being completely original and captivating. Smoky and woody, with a little pine kick to it, or like dried clove, all wrapped in a rich, thick sweetness of dried fruit. ... And longevity is bomb, like this lasts for hourssss, and it's also really unisex!"
Fragrantica - "the PERFECT campfire roasted marshmallow perfume!!! it smells exactly like when i roasted a bag of marshmallows at a beach bonfire and came home with a burnt marshmallow smell on all of my clothes"
Fragrantica - "...Imagine that you are in a big, warm, cozy cabin with a grand fireplace. You have a glass of brown liquor in your hand while you are sitting in a recliner, completely relaxed and watching something unfolding in front of you. The sweet whiskey top notes in the perfume forms an intimate relationship with pipe tobacco. And while you are watching their secret romance the embers in the fireplace are slowly dying out but it doesn’t matter because you’re still warm and cozy. ..."
Fragrantica - "This is easily the best Toskovat fragrance in the entire lineup. It smells like a beautiful mix of maple syrup glazed marshmallow's toasted over a campfire. ..."
Fragrantica - "...This makes me feel like im out in the wilderness roasting marshmallows and drinking rum. So cozy and warm :)"
Fragrantica - "What a 40 year old freshly broken up diabetic father of one would smell like,at a bar at midnight. ..."
Fragrantica - "Smells aggressively like Chinese medicine. Screamed when it hit my nose hairs. I fear the man who wears this - no really, I want him out of my sight. ... Edit: My friend loved it, I gave her the decant as a gift. I was surprised it smelled different on her. Refined, sultry, precious woods and heavy copal. ..."
