Smell sanctified! A blend of pure, pious frankincense and graceful myrrh.
Frankincense and myrrh, just that.
Sharp, simple and true. No changes on my skin.
Darker than Cathedral. -
Wet it's woody (cedar), but after a few minutes it goes softer and some myrrh comes out.
A bit powdery, it's woody resins, dark but still light and not cloying.
I agree with the "church" feeling, it matches the description... but for a cathedral it should be, well, stronger.
-
Wet it's a bit sweet, with lemon, juniper and maybe verbena. No dragon's blood yet.
Drying it looses the citrus not and wins a more fruity touch. It goes almost soapy (almost) and the dragon's blood goes stronger with a floral hint.
Makes me feel brave and capable... quite good as a placebo!

And, as it has been said before, Nyx is Flying Fox too!

Matches I've found:
Chai with Wrath
Anubis with B Never gel
ETA: As it has been said, Malediction is Cosmic Dreamcatcher but a bit less incensy.

Another Harry Potter fan here! (well, saying Snape and Lupin fan would be more accurate...).
Wet it's cedar with something more. Woody and soft.
Sandalwood? Rose? Not red rose, wild and little roses instead. And a bit of moss.
It's an autumn/winter scent to me.
Misterious, it isn't a wet, green forest but a dry autumn one (without pine).
Lovely, I need a big bottle of this one!
-
Wet it's wine and roses, no dragon's blood here.
Stays quite true, even dry it's just wine and roses... I wish a little of dragon's blood coming out, but it didn't.
Good but not special IMO.
-
Wet it's all cherry and dragon's blood, with clove and myrrh undertones.
Clove holds the sweetness back, making it really nice.
Dry it's a hot and sexy scent... I feel a big bottle coming...
-
Wet it's a bouquet of white "cold" flowers with a subtle green touch and the lunar oils. Freesia? Lilly? I'm not sure, but I'm in love.
A bit aquatic, this is a lovely winter perfume, light, cold and clean.
Just perfect.
-
Wet it comes as a lot of Dragon's blood and wine mulled with cinnamon and clove.
It's just like a house dressed up for Christmas.
Dry it goes a bit greener and the clover is stronger. Is it pepper what I smell at the bottom?
Perfect as a Yule home perfume, I would enjoy a candle of this one.
Awesome lasting power.

Wet it's sugared plums (accurate description), sweet and a bit cold.
Dry the flowers go strong, but the plum is still in the first line, a white plum as the one in Kitsune Tsuki.
Nice and almost eatable.
-
Wet it's amber and peach, the rest of the notes are mixed so well that it's very difficult to pick just one.
Peach is leading and voluptuous, not hidding, not girly, not cloying. Just bold.
Dry the floral touch comes out, and so does the galbanum.
The bottom line is peachless ending as an elegant floral bouquet.
Good lasting power.
-
Wet it's an intense red currant, berries and wine perfume. Very "red" and strong.
The wine keeps it away from being too sweet, and the result is a spooky and tricky blend, juicy and different: very special.
The balance between berries and wine changes several times as it dries down, being lovely in every stage.
Good lasting power.

Berry bubble gum!
Plum, black currant and wine when wet, amaretto comes out when dry making it less sweet and more acid.
Stays for years on the skin.
Again not my cup of tea.
-
Patchouli makes this scent deep, and ginger gives it a playful and different tone.
Lasts quite a long time.
That's all.
-
Gorgeous, just perfect!
Leather, tobacco and rum make a quick entry over the subtle sweet undertones of tonka and chardonnay. Leather and tobacco over all.
No coconut, thank you very much. Maybe the tonka bean is the one to blame for those reviews as it can easy fool the nose. I am glad because the idea of coconut note in this scent would have ruined it for me.
Dry the chardonnay comes out a bit stronger, making this perfume better if it's possible.
Very sexy and smooth, I wish it would last longer... but this makes me need 10ml instead of 5!

Bat-winged, flame-eyed, and possessed of an unearthly, perfect beauty: the Daughters of Lilith, the Succubi, invade the dreams of men and lie with them in rapturous, unholy sexual union. The scent of their skin is bittersweet, dusky and terminally seductive. Mimosa, orange blossom, neroli and bergamot with a drop of sweet clove.
Wet it's all neroli and bergamot, with mimosa in the bottom...
Strong and fresh, citrus with something more (maybe soap?...).
Cloying at first, better when dry. Sorry, but it will go to the swap box. -
Wet it's sweet (very, very sweet, almost fruity) lotus with amber. Almost like chewing gum but darker thanks to the sandalwood and the myrrh.
Dry it looses almost all its sweetness and it goes quite better, almost smoky, dark and powdery in a velvety way. Really really nice. I need a big bottle of this one!
-
Wet it's jasmine and lemon, with a spicy and honeysuckle undertone.
Step by step the spices are growing, specially the cinnamon...
It's intense but fresh, exotic and sexy; maybe a big bottle?

On me all the notes go out together, making a beautiful blend, floral and elegant with a fruity touch.
Glamourous and juicy, at the end it's red currant, roses and a touch of orris root to make it just perfect.

Patchouli and sandalwood are quite strong when this one is wet.
Dry it's softer and a bit woody.
I like it, but I'm surprised about how true the notes have been once in my skin... no change at all from the vial!
ETA: The lovely lab sent me an imp of this, thank you very much!
