CBL Orange Dirt
Brush by Sawdust Creations Studio (Bobby Moffett)
Rockwell 6S Red

From the CBL website:

Orange Dirt- There’s no beating around the bush on this one, it’s a straight up attempt to copy the classic and exquisite Terre D’Herrmes. This is the entire package, the whole orchard …root to fruit.

The scent is an incredible blend of bright orange, bitter grapefruit & spicy pepper layered on earthy, minerally vetiver and cedar. If this scent doesn’t get your attention you just might have a problem.
