  1. I am surprised that Day of the Skulls is not getting more love this year.

     

    To me, this is beautiful. It is a morpher. At first it smells of sweet, creamy flowers but this phase lasts literally under a minute. There is a second wave dominated by the florals but you can already tell the other players are just getting ready in the background to enter the game. This stage has shares some floral notes that are also present in Dia De Los Muertos. Soon the florals fade into the background (but never leave)and there is some sharpness dominated by tobacco, and frankincense. Finally, beeswax and sandalwood are making their appearance balancing out the sweetness of the florals and sharpness of tobacco/frank. Now the festivities are over, the candles are burning down with melted beeswax dripping down. Everything else fades to the background as you stand there looking at the candle lights flicker on the flower adorned skulls.

     

    Very evocative and I expect it to get only better with aging.

     

    It is beautiful and I love it.


  2. I just slathered it and I am so glad I picked this one up. It is sooo good and yes it is astringent but in a very good way. It is also quite different from all the stuff I have :wub2:

     

    ETA: I can't believe this blend isn't more popular! I just wanted to add that after several months of aging it is definitely less astringent and I keep getting compliments on it. I have to say that initially when I was testing my Yule decants I almost dismissed it as just another citrus blend. I am so glad I retested, otherwise I wouldn't get a bottle of this yummy juice! It actually has quite interesting depth once the citrus blast fades (and it doesn't take long). I definitely prefer The Season Of Ghosts to Carnaval Diaboliqe (I find both blends to be somewhat similar).


  3. Man, I want the color Mircalla! I have the black and white version, however, along with Lambs-Wool.

    Does anyone have a picture of Mircalla black and white label ?

     

    I love the black and white labels of the Vampires and now I wish we had a choice when ordering to state which label you prefer.

     

    Thank you all for posting the pictures of your bottles. I like to have a sneak peek at what to expect ;)
