But when Eve plucked the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, when she and Adam were driven from Paradise, there fell from the flaming sword of the cherub a spark into the nest of the bird, which blazed up forthwith. The searing red blaze that drove the First from Eden: dragon's blood resin, Ceylon cinnamon, and black amber. Oh Gods, *gulp* I've never been first before! This is my first test of a decant that may still need time to rest so I'll edit this if the need should arise, but so far I'm really enjoying this. Dragon's blood and cinnamon seem to be notes that can stomp all over the party for a lot of people, but this is so beautifully blended it's sweet and spicy, but grounded by the amber. It's a little sharp when wet, but the amber really saves the day as it dries down and I can only hope that trend will continue as it ages. I'd call this gender neutral. I'd also call this a full bottle purchase!

I wanted so badly to love this. This SOUNDS like something I should love! ...In theory, but in practice.... this smells like cigarette butts on me. Fruity cigarette butts. I don't care if this morphs into the most amazing thing I've ever smelled in an hour, it's not worth smelling like an ash tray, washed it off after five minutes of going "No, you must be BEAUTIFUL!"
