It's a hunk of wood with a wino's breath. Love it. And violetnoir - you're bang on the money - Palisander DOES have the same butt crack quality that I pick up in Aomassai - just sniffed em both. How funny! I always wonder what it was that put me off it... Not that i mind a bit of butt crack in the right place, of course, but there's something too (tastelessly does Gary Coleman face) 'Whatchoo talkin' 'bout Willis?' in these two scents that puts me off em. I use this harissa that has rose petals in it... can't remember the make (French I believe). It smells divine. Now THAT would be a perfume. You know, I love Sequoia most out of these three.

Fab top notes - then goes downhill, unfortunately. I remember the first time I tested it being so disappointed, thinking it smelled just like what my dad used to sometimes drink on Saturday mornings - V8 and orange juice with a splash of Tabasco. Bleh. I absolutely agree about Harissa. Fab top notes – then goes downhill, unfortunately.

The basenotes board is still active, and the primer DIY was very helpful. Thanks I will try the yahoo group.

There also used to be a DIY board on basenotes but don't know if it is still active. Sequoia, to my nose, isn't as sexy as Palisander. Not sure why. If Palisander gives you a headache, maybe that is a good thing...
