Calamity J
ScentArt
Which Should You Buy?
This one is a divisive, quirky sort, not really a crowd-pleaser for everyone but those who love it, really love it. If you're after something a bit different from your usual amber, this milky, woody spicebomb could be your next signature.
Calamity J is a polarising beast, a true love-it-or-hate-it scent. Some find it a sophisticated, soft amber-patchouli dream, others a 'calamity' of burned wood and 'wet sauvage animal hair'. It's been discontinued, which only adds to its mystique and desirability for its fans.
