Bottle Design and Artwork: This is a standard 5ml BPAL brown apothecary bottle. The label wrapped around the bottle features the name of the scent in thick, bolded, shadowed white font over the name of the company in a cream smaller, thinner version of the font, located along the bottom of the label. The collection name is in a similar font to the company’s name, but located along the top of the label. The label art is as follows:
Scent:
- ITB: Rose up front, followed closely by aromatic sandalwood swathed in red musk, a slightly salted saffron, dry spices, and the rounded citrus of bergamot brining up the base of the scent.
- Wet: Smoldering musk over spicy carnation, complete with the verdant tones of plucked petals, and rose trumpet their arrival first, yet bright bergamot blasts to the forefront, sunny citrus surrounded by swirling florals, sandalwood, and spices, saffron warmed. A touch of honeyed milk balances some of the assertiveness of the top notes.
- Dry: Okay, as this starts to dry, I had a moment or two where I was getting celery and saffron surrounded by patchouli rose and bergamot carnation. Just over 10 minutes in and the scent has shifted to more of a soapy red musk and rose headshop scent due to the patchouli, spices, and saffron. There’s still a slight celery/salty tone to the scent that has me a little confused. After 12 hours, there’s just a touch of lightly salty and distantly spiced rose patchouli.
Other Impressions: [Wet] “It smells like gas station incense and Life Savers, the whole roll, including the cherry.” -Tony
