doomsday_disco Report post Posted March 18, 2025 Ink-dark skies ripple with stardust and prophecy, and the air hums with the scent of revolution: smoked myrrh and velvet incense glittering with ti leaf and Italian bergamot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elissamay Report post Posted March 31 (edited) This is so interesting because OOB I get so much nag champa incense, but imagine if nag champa incense was, like, really, really classy. I think I'm also reading the bergamot as an almost sparkling or fizzy aspect. I can't wait to wear this! Edited March 31 by elissamay Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Invidiana Report post Posted April 15 (edited) Under a sky dark as the depths of the ocean, a sea witch rises, her hair tangled in tendrils of incense lit on the pier by those who summoned her. Something about this translates to a fathomless ocean on me. It is magical, bewitching, with the mineralic quality that may be meant to create an olfactory image of ocean water or an expanse of dark sky, or both, and it seems there is even a breath of salt air mingling with the incense as the sky glitters with bergamot stars. It has me under its spell. Edited April 19 by Invidiana a word ("of" to "or") Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VioletChaos Report post Posted 1 hour ago Myrrh and I are not always friends. I want to state that right off the top in the interest of total transparency. I envy those that can wear her with total abandon and glide through the air smelling of holy places and deep mythologies. On me myrrh usually smells like wet cardboard That said, the rest of the notes in this blend were compelling enough that I threw caution to the wind because sometimes ya gotta. In the bottle and upon initial application I get a powdery myrrh and a sharp stab of the bergamot bringing up the rear. Odd bedfellows to be sure, but there was also a third component I couldn't quite grab in the deep background and I was hoping to find out more, later. That incense note shows up upon drydown and "velvety" is a really accurate description for it. It's soft and plush- I get the above observation of it being almost as if nag champa incense was "really, really classy". It goes even a step beyond that for me because although I adore nag champa incense, I'm not a fan of it in my perfumes. This scent is definitely "incensey" but doesn't cross over into anything hippy-ish or head shop-y. It's rich and darkly intriguing and yes, myrrh and I are getting along like gangbusters, thankyouverymuch Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
