HAUNTED
A mournful, poignant scent, thick with foreboding. Soft golden amber darkened with a touch of murky black musk.
In the vial: Spicy.
Drydown: Hmm. Myrrh, patchouli, musk? Just a hint of formaldehyde.
Dry: I mistook the amber for myrrh, but I got the musk right. This is richly evocative of Halloween night for me, the good kind of Halloween, the Samhain Halloween. I feel the blackness of night, my skin prickling as a chill breeze brushes over me, the stars distant and cold, the scent of dead leaves and moist earth rising from the ground. Three hours later, and I'm sure -- this is a keeper!
This was a frimp in my last swap with
edenssixthday and wow, what a find! Thank you!
