A True Dark Horse
This is a must have if you love anise and or fresh spices! It might be overlooked for how polarizing anise can be, but I think this so well done, it's well worth it to try it out. The opening is powerful and full of that star anise and cinnamon punch (do take the warning into consideration, I'm mildly sensitive to the opening on skin). That warmth is beautifully contrasted by the fir and fig and is hands down my favorite application of those notes and is expertly handled here. It keeps things really quite fresh and I can see this being worn even in warmer weather. Of course, with any Kerosene fragrance, it really does last, evolve, and leave you wanting more. The dry down is really quite delicious and the tonka bean smooths things out into an almost root beer float accord without it being too cloying.

Excellent service from ministry of scent. Black Vines is an essential pick for any anise/licorice lover. The focus is on the beautiful anise note, but it's blended into a really gorgeous animated perfume.
