Lutin Errant

I wasn’t sure what to expect with this one, but it’s not for me. I wouldn’t describe this as creamy, it’s more earthy, dirty, woody, sharp. For me, this lacks a certain softness that I like my fragrances to have.

A touch of sweet earth…obsessed

Had a lot of likeable notes but the dry down on me just was too rusty musty.

I was so curious about the mushroom note in this that I couldn't wait to try it. Lutin Errant--wandering leprechaun in French--is an interesting dry woody fragrance that at first reminds me of Nasomatto Absinth, which is an all-time favorite of mine. I get some herbal sage and woods right off the bat, with a bit of very desiccated coconut. The rum note is present on a tester, but not on my skin, otherwise, the fragrance is pretty similar in both places. I'm not really getting anything that smells definitively of mushroom, though there's a vague "wet newspaper" thing going on that could be it. The drydown has a bit of muskiness and more woods, and overall the scent becomes warmer and a tad sweeter. Lutin Errant doesn't actually display any of the mischievous or trickster nature of a leprechaun (or a "straying sprite"). It's very quiet and rather calming. I like it.
