Cape Heartache
Sampled this a while back, initially thought it was nice but too basic in the strawberry, however returning to it I found the mistiness of the pine and wood enchanting and pronounced throughout the drydown. Simple but pleasing enough for frequent office wear. Purchased a full bottle while giving me an opportunity to sample most of the collection.

The Soft Lawn 2.0
Yeah, it's rubber and ivy. Not even to an offensive degree, it's fine and even it gets less astringent over time, but still rather meh.

Yesterday Haze
Hard to describe initially, I don't get the fruitiness of the fig but a pleasant hazy astringent mix with the wood and nuts. The creaminess comes through and it smooths out quite elegantly. Long lasting subtle sweetness. Worth a try if you like By the Fireplace and such.

Every Storm a Serenade
Extremely watery (calone), with fennel (maybe from the eucalyptus and spruce, others claim carrots) and only a tiny bit of salt, on the opening, then rapidly (mere minutes) settles into the same spruce and vetiver as Encre Noir but a tad lighter. It's okay, just not worth the additional price.
