Ars Moriendi: Wings of Azrael
Azrael is the Angel of Death, marked as the last being to die in the Apocalypse. Though a harbinger of doom, his duties are an act of mercy: he curtails human life before world-weariness and despair destroys our spirits. Warm myrrh swirled with a bittersweet blend of violet, Lily of the Valley, juniper, cypress and cajeput.
In imp: this is a powdery-tart floral, with the violets and lilies more noticeable than the rest. Bittersweet is just about right.
Wet on skin: wow O_O it's gone all to powder on my skin immediately! This usually only happens with rose; I'm not entirely sure which is the culprit here. Everything else is pretty much overpowdered, er, I mean overpowered :p Sniffing (very) deeply, I can get the cypress as well as a floral--but it's too faint for me to distinguish which floral it is. It can very well be a blend of the "leftover" florals, or just one.
Dry: the powder has quieted down slightly, but still out in full force. Powdery violet, somewhat ticklish to my nose, but not a lot more. I thiiiiink I can get a little lily, and a little cypress, but at this point the notes are too washed out to be very sure what they are.
Verdict: nope, my skin doesn't like this.
