I must say, the WoS Strasbourg is not what I expected. After reading multiple reviews speaking of it being “complex”, having spice/citron type notes, and even some say a bit of a floral/violet note; I for one do not get that. My 25g tin came extremely fresh as it had a very decent amount of ammonia smell initially. Letting it breathe a little (not too much as I have retained some of the ammonia still when I decanted), I do get a little bit of a citron type note… but to me this one smells most like fresh cedar shavings. Not necessarily a bad thing for the most part, but having hamsters as a young child it reminds me of really fresh cedar bedding. I’ve tried it off and on over the last couple of weeks, but the ol’ schnoz gets the same impression. Is it just me?
yes it probably is. Then again snuff is super absorbent of scents so you can never be sure.
I might just have to get another tin on my next order to see if the results are the same or not.
