Ecclesiastical incense, Roman flora, and the fruits of martyrdom: cypress, olive blossom, frankincense, myrrh, and blood accord.



2011 version.

 

This decant was frimped to me, and I liked it more than I thought I would based on the notes. I get olive blossom on a bed of resins at first, (the smooth frankincense is the standout resin on me throughout wear, and the myrrh in this isn't a bold, dark variety), with just a hint of cypress, but then the cypress disappears, and olive blossom calms down, so that the blend mostly ends up being about the frankincense and the blood musk. The blood musk is not red musk, and I think it may have something in common with whatever comprises the blood note in Mithras from the American Gods line. (I didn't deathmatch the two to be sure, but that was a thought I had while I was testing this). I'm not getting anything particularly smoky on my skin, and for that, I am glad.

 

While this is not something I need more of, it's much more pleasant than I thought it would be, and I'm glad I got to try it!
