Bottle Design and Artwork: This is a 2ml vial from Nocturne Alchemy. The name of the company toward the top is in a stylized white font, just under the yellow company sigil. The scent name is below that in a larger, bolded version of that font, but in white. The bottom features Isis’ wings above the phrase “limited”. All of this is surrounded by lime green plant filigree against a black background. The 2ml vial appears as follows.
Scent:
- ITI: Creamy, lily-toned vanilla flecked with the most luxurious, fluffy, sugared bourbon sandalwood. This is warm, slightly buttery tone over the sandalwood with a subtle, dry hint. It’s lovely – vanillic but not super foody.
- Wet: Oooh, that’s nice. Brown sugar sandalwoods, chewy, aromatic, and round, over fragrant cashmere-toned vanillic florals from Bastet’s Musk with thin streaks of cool cedar. This and BPAL’s First Class Upgrade seem to be hanging out in the luxury vanilla and woods section.
- Dry: After 8 hours, this is still quite beautiful in its round, almost frosting-toned vanilla, darker due to the brown sugar, over round, buttery sandalwood pinched with delicate florals around the edges. Lovely!
Other Impressions: [Wet] “It smells like edible car polish. It’s all the parts of car polish that you shouldn’t eat but that make you want to eat it.” -Tony
