Revisiting an early decant: Rojas Apex

🔥

This was a decant I got early on in my journey from scentbird along with pretty much everything that wasn't nailed down. I was new. I was learning and now I have a lot of decants to go through. I remember wearing this one when I first got it and finding it a bit overwhelming. So I thought I would try it again today and see if I would have a different experience now that I've trained my nose more in the interim.

The opening of this one is still a bit chaotic and all over the place for me, I got a lot of aromatics and green notes, but that's not what's listed. Not a whole lot of citrus other than maybe some Orange blossom.

Now that it's settled on my skin, the closest analog for me is it keeps reminding me of sauvage Elixir, and even though there's not any lavender listed, I'm definitely getting that note along with the pepperiness. I took a sniff of my my Savuage Elixir to ensure that that's what I was smelling and that's what I'm getting. I'm also getting hints of leather and very clean musk as well

I'm almost wondering if somehow the patchouli is coming across similar to lavender or it's in there and not listed? Or possibly the decant was mixed with the Intense accidentally?

Anyone else own or familiar with this one enough to give me their thoughts on whether there is lavender note in there or not.
