In the bottle: spicyyyy incense! A bit smoky, a bit sweet, 99% incense. I want to drink it. Wet on skin: I would die for this scent. Please bury me in Tiefling Therapist infused dirt. It’s warm, dry and dusty, just pure Champa incense wafting through a head shop or a witchy antique store. I can almost hear the creak of old floorboards in the vial… there’s a slight fruitiness here that I believe comes from the champaca note. Not like real fruit, just a *suggestion* of fruit. A tiny hint of grandma’s perfume, that is, if your grandma is a crazy old witch. Dried down: there’s literally nothing better than this. If you’ve always dreamt of capturing the essence of swirling incense smoke, your dreams will certainly come true. Any facet of perfume or fruit has faded away by now and all I’m getting is pure incense. It’s unbelievably calming and beautiful. Reminds me of: an antique store that sells incense, burgundy and maroon, Fleetwood Mac, a kindly demon caressing your cheek until you fall asleep

Reminds me of: true indigo, solo cello music, ancient Egypt, fruit bats In the bottle: a bright, deep, plummy scent. I definitely get sandalwood, and something more resinous but also along those lines. A slight metallic tinge, which to me resembles BPAL’s typical blood notes. It smells mysterious and bright and bountiful! Wet on skin: Sandalwood, dates, plum, incense, and dark resins. It’s very fruit-forward on my skin, not quite tangy but rather juicy. And yet it’s kind of sandy and dry? Like delicious fruit leather. Dried down: The mysterious fruitiness mostly fades away and leaves behind a crumbly, powdery sandalwood incense. There are still wisps of plum, but it’s mostly a dusty and dry amber by the end of the day. The lasting power is wonderful! My skin usually amps fruit notes, but I found this to be restrained enough that overall, it’s more of an amber/incense perfume than a fruity one. I got my bottle in a swap and it was already beautifully aged. 9/10 from me!
