Scent:

• ITI:   Smoked vanilla and creamed butter tones over rich vetiver smolder billow forth from the imp, making my mouth water and immediately making me think of campfires.  There’s a touch of caramel and a subtle floral nod from Bastet’s Musk hiding amongst the thick smoke. 
• Wet:  Deliciously light crystalline vanilla spiced with cardamom over smoldering embers of aromatic wood (mesquite or  cedar), with drips of marshmallow fluff from now-devoured smores. 
• Dry:  After 9 hours, only a modicum of scent remains, a soft vanilla ice cream and mallow over dying campfire embers.

Other Impressions:  [Wet] “You know how there’s a difference between handmade Renfest batch made birch beer and a can of Barq’s? It’s like that, but for like cedar and freshly opened Band-Aid brand bandaids.” -Tony
