Krampus - Anything BUT jolly! Draped with chains and bells, wielding both whip and rod, this rag-clad, horned, red-skinned, soot-covered leering creature is both the companion and the antithesis of rosy-cheeked and ebullient Kris Kringle. He is called by many names, and, in a myriad of cultures, he is seen with different robes and faces, but he is nevertheless always a sinister and fearsome instrument of Santa's wrath: he wields a switch on all irredeemably naughty children before tossing them into his large black sack and whisking them away.
Be good, or Krampus will toss you in a river! Sinister red musk, black leather, dusty rags, and wooden switches.
NOTE: I don't know which vintage this is - '06 or '07.
In the vial, I smell red musk, leather, and wood of some sort. Colorwise, I get a dusty brown-red.
Wet on my skin, there's an odd kind of sweetness. I'm thinking that's the red musk. Very unusual scent. I like it, so far.
10-15 minute drydown - At this point, it's mostly musk and leather. This is one of the few that my body hasn't immediately eaten the leather note.
1 hour drydown - It smells like incense. Good incense. The leather, predictably, has all but disappeared.
