This is my final review from the anthology set which has been a great find. Again this is another wonderful fragrance ….they seem to be based round wood notes with the addition of various spices. This one has a lovely black pepper drydown. I think the mixture of frankincense with sandalwood gives it a lovely depth …..again something i would purchase if the price was right.

Not for women
I was very excited first when I got the sample.
First impression: maybe they sent it as if I were a man?
The scent is very strong and quite sweet. I felt like in man's skin. brrr.
I would maybe like it on a man, but as a unisex or women perfume - it's very masculine

Good one
I was able to trying this fragrance as part of the discovery set and so far im liking what they produce. This fragrance opens with a lovely black pepper aroma. The combination of sandalwood rounds it nicely and frankincense gives it strength and depth. I probably would only buy if it was on offer due to the price point.

Enjoyable
I was fortunate enough to obtain a discovery set for this brand and am enjoying working my way thru the various scents. This one was a very nice warm fragrance. On me it brought out the aroma of pepper. This was very long lasting …i assume from the wood which are part of the mix. My only negative comment would be its price point.

Eidesis combines crisp petitgrain, black pepper, frankincense, and spicy cumin with cedar, sandalwood, and vetiver for a rich, complex experience . The result is masculine-feminine, mysterious, and grounded an elevated woody-amber fragrance that feels both familiar and intriguingly disorienting . It wears beautifully from morning into evening and stands out without being loud. Perfect for anyone seeking a unique signature scent with depth and nuance. Definitely a thoughtful choice for fragrance lovers.

insanely special
I am extremely picky when it comes to perfumes. I don’t like very floral, very warm vanilla scents and it’s honestly hard for me to find a perfume I can wear all day. eidesis is a woody perfume that almost smells like pencil shavings but has an almost incense note that helps ground it. I catch myself smelling myself over the course of the day and it does last on me. I get sooo many compliments on it because it’s such a unique scent. Of Aesop’s perfumes this is my number one followed closely by Tacit

Perfect for winter
Such a comforting unique unisex smell and, whilst projection is not amazing (although, I find that warmer woodier scents are usually more of a skin scent anyway) it lasts longer than some of the ds
