Toskovat' In the Belly of the Beast Extrait de Parfum Decant
What it smells like on skin
Opens with sea water and leather, lifted by sharp sweetie (a pomelo-grapefruit cross), dark mulberry and saffron. The heart is resin and texture: copal and elemi, costus root, lanolin (think raw wool), hashish and immortelle. The base is the shipwreck: ambergris, oud, palo santo, sequoia, driftwood, moss and lichen.
Read the full scent story
Swallowed by something at sea. Salt water and old leather, a hold full of resin and raw wool, driftwood and moss that have been underwater a long time. And somewhere in the dark, flowers that shouldn't be there.
In the Belly of the Beast is marine, resinous and animalic, and it isn't built to please a crowd.

Why you may not like it
You dislike animalic notes (lanolin, costus and ambergris all lean that way) or want a clean, fresh aquatic. This is the sea after dark, not a beach day.
