Description:

FAUSTUS

An infusion of incalculable power and irresistible temptation. Truly an exercise in megalomania and self-gratification: frankincense and cinnamon, darkened by violet.

Review:

In the bottle: What I smell is mostly frankincense, with a little bit of violet, and a drop of cinnamon.

Wet: My skin has just been attacked by frankincense in big quantities… And some dark violets are pushing from underneath.

Dry: It settled down to a mix of cinnamon and violet. It’s spicy, and a little bittersweet.

Verdict: I have to admit spicy cinnamon is very sensual and playful; but man, do I dislike frankincense on me… Also, it’s quite different from my usual feminine perfume oils, but it certainly is empowering and self-gratifying! It’s somewhat masculine, but I think it would fit better on a young man, filled with sexual energy; or as a neutral scent for a woman with an aura of power. When my mother smelled this on me, last December, she asked me where she could buy “a gallon of that stuff”, so I know to whom I can give my sample.
