Silvertree Report post Posted June 16, 2023 An offering to the dead: goat’s milk, honey, wine, myrrh, and a glint of gold. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
feyofthefellwood Report post Posted June 16, 2023 Reposting this from the testing thread. Enagismata is really smooth and pretty, light and creamy. The goat milk and wine give it a little tang, the myrrh is elegant, and the honey is mild and sweet. It's almost in a similar scent family to Dragon's Milk and Cockaigne IMO, but far less sugared than both, less foody than Cockaigne, less incensey than Dragon's Milk. And at least fresh from the mail, it has less throw than those scents. Be aware I have a fondness for goat milk notes and if that isn't your thing, this blend will probably *not* change your mind! Now I wish I could afford all the Greek funerary scents. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Little Bird Report post Posted May 23 I love bpal's fragrances with notes that I commonly use for offerings. They feel spiritual, indulgent, and sensual to me. Enagismata starts off like tangy, strong, vibrant red wine and sweet honey mead + extra honey with a dark undercurrent of resinous smoke. As it dries down, the goat's milk comes in and softens everything, adding a strong, creamy, vanilla-y tone that also makes the scent feel more refreshing and not quite as dark and intense. Settles into a beautiful scent of honeyed, vanilla milk, red wine, and smoky myrrh. Strong and long lasting with good throw. Adding it to my list of favorites ❤️ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
artisjok Report post Posted September 18 The dead love decadence. This is a lush brocade of resinous libations: milk and honey, ribbons of wine twining through with its tangy berry tones. Or maybe that tang the glint of gold that is sparkling within, giving an extra source of light in the dark of the underworld. The myrrh smoke that blesses the offering keeps the mood level and smooths edges. The fatty goat milk has a particularly central role. It’s honeyed cream satisfying far beyond the initial act and into the night. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
