doomsday_disco Report post Posted April 11 Goddess of phantoms and of shadowy play, whose drowsy pow’r divides the nat’ral day: ink-black opoponax absolute, glittering amber, caramelized oud, black styrax, and Oman frankincense. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
patina Report post Posted May 7 (edited) Immediately in the bottle, I think of ginger. Fresh, not very spicy ginger. Then a liquid amber comes out. These resins meld together so well I can't really pick them out, though. Sweet, maybe a little baby powder in there but mostly liquid resin. This makes me think Byzantine, even though the amber is not the super bright gold you'd associate with the era. Dusky soft blue-black and dull pallid gold.

DiZZysTARdust Report post Posted May 13 this is only two days rested so this may have an impact. as an avid frankincense lover i was very excited to purchase this. in the bottle i get a hint of frankincense and a lot of a cola like note i usually associate with labdanum. i’m guessing this could be part of the amber. freshly on and into the drydown this is all about the syrupy black amber. i feel like the other notes are contributing to the amber to support it rather than coming through on their own. i don’t get much oud at this point for those worried about that. it’s not too powdery on me and i usually will amp powdery aspects. all about the amber for now, but i’m looking forward to retesting in the future and seeing how this ages.
