thanks! Definitely adding The Great Sword of War.... the 5 conflicting herbs in its description scared me off initially, but I'll try it! Thanks<3

I have an almost-empty bottle of Haloes.... loved it. *writes notes and scours reviews* I'm not too picky, tonka+anything... other than pine/mint/overly ozone/aquatickly I'm fine with violet, I heart Hope&Faith. I'll definitely try Sybaris, Against Idleness and Mischief, and Ashlultum! I hope I can find Mircalla.... Ugh these sound delightful. Any others?

Bottle: concentrated rosewater loaded with sugar. Wet: Wow, a scent that doesn't really morph on my skin! It turns slightly creamier, and mouthwatering. This is what I imagine the sugared red roses in Willy Wonka's courtyard garden to smell like... Dry: Stays quite close to your skin. I swear my skin just absorbs this (I am dry-skinned and it's winter)...it disappears fast. It's also quite sexy, I'm not getting any girliness, and I certainly wouldn't want my future daughter(s) to wear this until they're past middle school. Definitely evokes images of making love- it's not a scent that screams SEX, but... making love in a bathtub surrounded by red rose petals.

Bottle: It's like sitting in a grand, echoing church with newly polished oak pews, getting a whiff of cloying vanilla, golden amber and powdered white ginger that floats like tendrils of incense smoke that slightly burns the back of my nose. Wet: Musky vanilla, and complex ginger- maybe a touch of another spice, clove or... nutmeg? Quite sharp. The floral doesn't seem fresh, rather like dryflowers for incense. Blends very well with the amber... Dry: the sweetness of the tonka and warmth of the vanilla come out- to me it definitely evokes an image of a white ginger/vanilla-scented candle, its flame gently warming your hands. Above Average throw, any movement sends another feather of scent into your senses (I'm wearing it on the crook of my arm). The longer it stays on, the more the dried apricot comes out, along with the vanilla/tonka. Definitely grounded by sandalwood/oak, its scent seems more GRAND than a straight-up foodie perfume. Definitely an ethereal golden scent grounded in rich, dark brown wood and framed with columns of white marble, dreaming about an afterlife... [edit]: Only for special, intimate occasions!
