Brothers, I have recently acquired a fragrance that I would love to review for y'all, but i just cant find the words. Nothing seems to do it justice. I looked at what "professional reviewers" had to say about it. I came to the conclusion that 90% of them are just faking it, using a note breakdown and saying things that sound smart, but are ultimately meaningless and unhelpful. I can tell you what its not, but describing what it is seems an impossible task. Even using memories doesn't help. The strongest memory it invokes in me is a personal experience that only one other person on earth has shared. So how do I do this wonderful fragrance justice, and share this unique scent with the group? As i dive into niche houses and less known scents, I suspect I will have this problem again. (Probably today when the mailman arrives) Any advice is appreciated Thank you all in advance

First wear today of Rehab from Initio. My first impression is that this one feels very warm and comforting. I’m getting a soft cinnamon-like spice along with some woodiness, and the overall effect feels smooth rather than sharp. It has a relaxed, almost cozy quality to it that I’m really enjoying so far. Performance is still the question mark for me. I had a nice scent bubble at first, but I feel like I may have gone a little nose blind to it fairly quickly, so I don’t want to judge the projection too early. That may just be part of the character of this one too. It doesn’t feel like it is trying to dominate the room. It feels more like something that sits around you quietly and comfortably. And honestly, I like that mood. So for now, the scent itself is a definite positive. Warm, woody, comforting and easy to live with. The jury is still out on performance, so I’ll check back in after a few more hours and see where it goes. 😎
