<span style='color:blue'>From Sin & Salvation:
Visceral in the extreme. An aesthetic exercise in vice. The ominous scent of vetiver with a swirl of bay and gardenia.</span>
Wooooo... spicy!! Definitely has a STRONG bay kick, which I happen to like. It's so spicy I could swear I smell clove in there, even though it's not one of the listed notes. The vetiver adds depth to the bay (or maybe it's the other way around?). On initial wear I don't pick up the gardenia... maybe after dry-down.
Mr. Imp loves bay (just used up the last of his Burt's Bees Bay Rum Skin Balm) so I talked him into trying this... yum!! On him I can actually pick up the gardenia. It also has more of a woody note on him than on me. Chemistry is a funny thing!
eta: After several hours it's softer but still a very clean, herbal scent... too masculine for me to wear by itself, I think, though it might be alright layered with something else. Mr. Imp liked it but complained it made him itch Guess I'll try it in the oil warmer next... should be nice!

Mmmmmmmm... jasminey, lemony rose at first. Now that it's been on a bit I'm detecting spiciness/woodiness from the patchouli, cedar and sandalwood. The smell of this reminds me of a lovely candle my husband gave me before we got married that was sold in the Oxfam World Shop where he worked. I love the smell but rarely light it because there is now no way to get another one. I can't wait to try this in the oil warmer to see how it compares to the candle!
