Jack and the Devil

Jack and the Devil by Solstice Scents is a Oriental Spicy fragrance for women and men. The nose behind this fragrance is Angela St.John. The fragrance features Spices, Patchouli, Pumpkin, Tobacco Leaf, Amber, Vanilla and Oakmoss. Jack & The Devil is part trick, part treat, and all autumn delight. A blend of sugared golden pumpkin, spices, oakmoss, sweet vanilla, aged patchouli essential oil, and dried brown tobacco leaf (absolute). On cold sniff and initial application, the earthy patchouli is completely smoothed out by a generous heap of sweet and delicious vanilla and pumpkin. A sharp green refreshing note of the most gorgeous oakmoss absolute wraps these notes up tight and mingles perfectly with the autumn spice blend. Tobacco leaf serves to enrich the dank earthiness of the patchouli. The entire composition is cocooned in a golden amber. The dry down is that of the most decadent ambered patchouli and spice. The other components lend an incredibly subdued incensey (dry incense, not incense smoke) component to the vanilla and amber combo.This blend does tend to lean towards a relatively sweet end of the spectrum, though it starts off with more earthy components.
