Details on Imaginary Authors Slow Explosions

An impressive work of art, deep, rich, magical, warm, and emotionally evocative. Reminiscent of watching fireworks at a neighbor's place as a kid.

How does Imaginary Authors Slow Explosions smell?

A unique blend of tart apple, saffron, and leather, with supporting notes of rose absolute and benzoin. Opens with a medicinal, dry saffron note that transitions into a leather accord, complemented by spices and a subtle rose. The drydown features musky benzoin and cashmeran, creating a warm, spicy-fruity leather composition.

Does not smell as described...

... but rather sharp and spicy. Apple and leather are only marginally noticeable to me. My hope was that it would be a pleasant, primarily fruity-leathery fragrance.
