A Sanskrit blessing and word of greeting that bears a powerful symbolism. It represents the Oneness of all of existence, the union of matter and spirit, perfect wholeness. It is accompanied by a gesture: Anjali -- hands pressed together, fingertips heavenward, pressed together over the heart,s chakra. This oil blend is a serene, soothing Indian blend, created to bring calm and joy to the heart and peace to the spirit. Sandalwood, jasmine, rose, patchouli, cedarwood and lemongrass.
In the bottle: Lemon drops! With a whiff of something else, like maybe jasmine.
Wet on skin: A tart, citrusy scent anchored by the woods coming out from the base, sandalwood and cedar really hold this together.
Dry on skin: It's more masculine than the Cedar note in Alecto, then I turn my head and catch the scent of jasmine. I'm split.
After a few hours: From this I got complex woodsy scent with a touch of lemon and a breath of jasmine. My gal caught a sniff and declared me "old lady." But damn it, I like it.
And, I waited until today to buy Blue Moon and it's down until the 31st, damn it! *cry*
