One of my recent contributions was my review of Layton by PDM - which I enjoyed but kept feeling like I had in my collection - well when I wore this today I realized that this and the Elixer ( which I wore yesterday) sort of fill that niche for me.
This one is deep rich and kind of smoky with lots of resin and intense and a dry sweetness that isn't dominant. Dark patchouli feels apt with intense and resins the Absolute has more leather Elixer slightly more sweetness perhaps from hints of sandalwood.
Thieae were ones that got me to confront my preconceptions about Boss based on being a 90s kid and Hugo Boss. I actually bought them together because I couldn't decide which one I liked more. One day I plan to layer them to see what happens.
Glad to have these two and sorry Layton.
With kindness
