And something like vinegar. Polish eat a lot of very sour, pickled vegetables. Yummy... But as a German you should never make fun of Polish. On the other hand, come on, isn't all the CdG incense stuff or in fact many "geographical" fragrances a similar thing. Like: typical Italian? "Sicialian" lemon. Typical Eastern? Steamed rice. Typical Polish? Why not barley and lovage. Not less abstract, just less common. Well, above all I miss a Vodka note. And something like vinegar. Polish eat a lot of very sour, pickled vegetables.

Barley?? Maybe kielbasa or 'kapusta' would have also been nice touches. Haha. I also laughed about the barley note. Barley??

If you try it and it's wonderful, do come back and tell!

SKARB. Doesn't really roll off the tongue or make one go into reveries (well, maybe if one speaks Polish?). Nice website and video with Chopin music, though, and I like the bottle. I might actually want to get a sample from Luckyscent to see how all those notes smell together. Could be ... interesting. A bit pricey for me though ($210/100ml).
