This concludes Marina’s Round 2 with mod R2\/D.<\/span>
\nMy second mod, Holy Grail R2\/D<\/strong> has arrived! This is my message to Clement regarding the mod:<\/p>\n

Dear Clement,<\/p>\n

I was so thrilled to try my second mod! It started with a spicy explosion of saffron and my heart rejoiced. I do like this version more than Mod No. 1, simply because it is spicier, warmer and more \u201csubstantial\u201d, not as ethereal.<\/p>\n

For the next mod I was wondering if we could make it even warmer, heavier and more animalic. I know that my proposal said that I want my scent to be spicy, but I was thinking that perhaps we could tone down the spice (which I perceive to be mainly saffron) a little, not so much by reducing the amount of it as by making the other notes stronger. As it is, to my nose and on my skin,\u201d saffron\u201d overwhelms everything else. I do smell a little musk and some amber in the drydown, but apart from that the scent seems rather linear, like a saffron \u201csoliflore\u201d. (If you are familiar with Safram by Laura Tonatto, this is how Mod 2 smells to my nose.)<\/p>\n

I would absolutely love the scent to have more woods, particularly sandalwood. And I would be so happy if the musk was made much, much<\/strong> stronger. I also want this musk to be very obviously \u201cdirty\u201d. No clean musk for me, please. I don\u2019t know if you had a chance to read the comments<\/a> made by our readers about the first mod\u2026One of my wonderful fellow bloggers, March<\/a>, came up with an idea of Marina\u2019s Skank-o-Meter. On a scale of 1 to 10, where Clair de Musc by Serge Lutens is 1 and Muscs Koublai Khan is a perfect 10, I would like my Holy Grail to be 8,5 or maybe even 9. Please don\u2019t hold back and don\u2019t be afraid to scare me off with animalic notes. I love my scents to be dark and dirty.<\/p>\n

I also wanted to note that some of the people who received the 2nd mod told me that they smelled a leather note there. I was a little upset that there seemed to be no leather on my skin. However, after a couple of more tries, I did actually start to smell leather, albeit faintly, in the very late drydown. I would love for that note to be much stronger! Paired with the dirty kind of musk I have in mind, spiced up by some saffron and cardamom, softened by the velvety sandalwood and perhaps some vanilla\u2026oh my!<\/p>\n

To sum it all up and hopefully to amuse you, here are my impressions and wishes:<\/p>\n

This is how Mod R2\/D smells right now- bright, thrilling, but essentially insubstantial:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Fireworks<\/em><\/p>\n

This is how I would like it to smell- warm, sensual, generous, inviting, like a fire burning in the darkness of the night:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Fire<\/em><\/p>\n

I also want it to be \u201cdirty\u201d and not at all innocent. I would go as far as to say that I want it to smell \u201cdangerous\u201d, perhaps even a little sinister\u2026Like this:<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Franz von Stuck, Sin<\/em><\/p>\n

Thank you very much again! I am looking forward to hearing from you and to the next mod!<\/p>\n

Best wishes,
\nMarina<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
