A Twilight Where Virtues are Vice

[Jenjin]

Honeysuckle, Moroccan jasmine, and opium smoke.

 

In a twilight where virtues are vices,

In thy chapels, unknown of the sun,

To a tune that enthralls and entices,

They were wed, and the twain were as one.

For the tune from thine altar hath sounded

Since God bade the world’s work begin,

And the fume of thine incense abounded,

To sweeten the sin.

Apparently, I forgot to review this a few weeks ago when I tried it. The honeysuckle is the strongest note out of the gate, followed by the jasmine, and then the opium smoke. The honeysuckle and jasmine together give me Eostre of the Dawn vibes, but then the honeysuckle is quick to fade, leaving mostly a non-indolic jasmine swirled with some opium smoke. The opium in this is not as strong as it is in Our Lady of Pain and Madrigal from this year's Lupercalia update.

 

I wish the honeysuckle hadn't been so fleeting on me! Alas.

There's smoke in this? Normally I amp smoke and smoke adjacent scents (like incense) with phenomenal staying power....but it's nowhere on me.  

 

This one is all freshly watered honeysuckle and warm sweet jasmine (no screech, no indole/poop, no sour) on me from application to drydown to fade hours later.
