My first review, and my first Imp choice due to Anubis being my patron Deity.
In the Imp
A beautiful light golden amber in color, honey almost, very beautiful. The scent is strong in the Imp, honey-like, the storax, balsam, and herbs truly jump out at you. I was concerned at this point, that perhaps it might be too sweet for my chemistry/taste.
Boy was I wrong.
On Wet
On me, as an Aries, resins and the like explode, and this is no different, a little goes a long way with this on me. It does go on wet as sweet as honey, literally and figuratively, and yet it is not overpowering. The herbs and other components make this lovely, I always get compliments when I wear this. I picture an embalmer's workshop, the priest wearing the mask of Anubis as they finish preparing another body for the Halls of Osiris.
Dry Down
The sweet note fades, but never completely, and the longer I keep it on the myrrh gets to be more and more prominent, turning as a light, aged, very ancient scent. That of a tomb laid undisturbed for millenia, to be opened and see Ra's light again after thousands of years. The scent of a time long past, and the embalmer's art lost to the passage of time.
Recommendation
As a follower of Anubis, I had to try this first, and I am very glad I did. The combination is unique, complex, and I would wager that it would vary quit a bit depending upon body chemistry. I could wear this every day and not grow tired of it, I continually get wisps of different components. Definitely a keeper for me!
