Review: Anubis

Scent Anubis Source BPAL URL http://www.blackphoenixalchemylab.com/excolo.html Description He Who Counts the Hearts, Jackal Ruler of the Bows, He Who Is In the Place of Embalming. Jackal-headed guardian, protector and psychopomp of Egypt’s dead, he guides souls to the underworld and holds steady the scales upon which the deceased’s heart is weighed against Ma’at’s Feather of Truth. He is the creator and master of funereal rites, He Who Opens the Mouth of the Dead, and is the sentinel that watches over the sanctity of tombs and the virtue and privacy of his charges. His scent is a blend of holy myrrh, storax, balsam, and embalming herbs. Amount imp Date 12.28.08 In the Bottle a little spice, a lot of herb, maybe a hint of medicinal, amber, cinnamons? Wet on Skin lots of floral all of a sudden, very exotic - tint of baby powder Dry on Skinas above, settling towards a warm ambery spice and myrrh Evoced Color green, blue - turquoise and lapis Evoced Mood calm, patience Others roomies didn't care for this one at all - the myrrh probably. Lasts. For. Ever. Elements floral (oriental), oriental (oriental, woody), herbal

Welcome

Well, now that I have found my new obsessions I wanted to set up something of a scent database here. So to train my nose and my vocabulary on how to describe the scents I like, so I can recognize the scents later on. To that end I've set up some tools to be of use to me. The first is a standard review format:     The second is to make use of the formal scent wheel - courtesy of wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fragrance_wheel As follows:

Review: Ozymandias

Scent Ozymandias Source BPAL URL http://www.blackphoenixalchemylab.com/bb.html Description I met a traveler from an antique landWho said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone Stand in the desert. Near them, on the sand, Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown, And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command, Tell that its sculptor well those passions read, Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things, The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed, And on the pedestal these words appear: "My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings: Look upon my works, ye Mighty, and despair!" Nothing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare The lone and level sands stretch far away.   Desolation. The remnants of an empire, shivering with forgotten glories, a monument to megalomania, sundered power, and colossal loss. Dry desert air, dry and hot, passing over crumbling stone megaliths and plundered golden monuments, bearing a hint of the incense of lost Gods on its winds. Amount imp Date 12.28.08 In the Bottle very minor florals, amber, sandlewood, minor spice Wet on Skin as above Dry on Skin settles into a complex warmth, still an impression of strength - dryness Evoced Color red-orange Evoced Mood desert setting sun, strength, male Others Elements floral (soft), oriental (soft, woody)
