The Black Tower
What They Say: A sepulchral, desolate scent. Long-dead soldiers, oath-bound; the perfume of their armor, the chill wind that surges through their tower, white bone and blackened steel: white sandalwood, ambergris, wet ozone, galbanum and leather with ebony, teak, burnt grasses, English ivy and a hint of red wine.
In The Bottle: It's a very dry, sharp smell in the bottle, and it's hard to pinpoint any particular scents.
On My Skin: It stays dry and sharp, but the sandalwood warms it up quite a bit. It isn't exactly a sweet scent, but it is kind of spicy and very rich, with a very earthy background. So not exactly desolate and sepulchral like the description claims, but delicious nonetheless.
Verdict: Not what I was expecting, but amazing.
