LG ROTY '22 is four note blend of scents that are commonly considered "dank" which is something that hippies are quite fond of. I get heavy patchouli in the mix with pine coming in second. The leather and vetiver are lurking in the background to fill out this wonderful earthy blend. I chose Hindsight aftershave for its inclusion of a cannabis note for obvious reasons. For the fragrance I'm going with the best incense and dragon's blood scent in existence (and the only bottle of this frag in existence to my knowledge). Scoot gave me this bottle as a gift one night after helping him label some Darkfall soaps. As he handed it to me he said "Now you can smell like a hippy!" I will treasure it until it's gone. It's a shame that the soap and splash burned my skin when I tried it because I adore the scent, but at least I can enjoy it as the frag which is even better to my nose.
For a song to go along with a hippy theme, how can I not pick one from The Grateful Dead? "Althea" is one of my favorite tunes from them. It's got a nice chill and relaxing groove that's perfect for spacing out laying in the grass on a sunny, stoney afternoon.
Peace fam.
