... Luxuriant amber, warm Egyptian musk, fierce saffron and soft myrrh, almond, cardamom and golden lotus.
In the vial (initial impression): Cherries! Cherries and... something else, something sharper. Initially on (wet): An oddly pleasing mix of gentle spice and sun-warmed flowers, for lack of a better description. I think it might be the lotus, and - ooh, the almond! Lovely almond. It seems remarkably soft and gentle, like the purring of a large cat right next to your ear. I like it, it feels very Bast (in Her gentler aspects), but I'm less sure if it's a "me" scent. Wearing it (dry): 10-20 mins after application, it's a warm floral scent, pretty sharp and strong. I'm a bit disappointed, I'd hoped for more saffron or almond, but perhaps it will change later. 20-30 mins after application, it's still warm, floral, yet a bit spicy. Pleasant! I still wish for more almond. An hour later, it's still a warm and sunny floral, and the almond just won't return. Darn! Nevertheless, I like it. A joyous scent. Finally: 10 hours and still going strong. A lovely scent! Keeper.
