You Are Mine, You Shall Be Mine, You and I Are One for Ever

The consuming intensity of a passion that claims body and soul, blurring the boundaries between longing and obsession, lust and loathing. Ylang ylang and clove evoke the heat of skin against skin, bruised by bittersweet blackcurrant honey kisses.

 

Sometimes after an hour of apathy, my strange and beautiful companion would take my hand and hold it with a fond pressure, renewed again and again; blushing softly, gazing in my face with languid and burning eyes, and breathing so fast that her dress rose and fell with the tumultuous respiration. It was like the ardor of a lover; it embarrassed me; it was hateful and yet over-powering; and with gloating eyes she drew me to her, and her hot lips traveled along my cheek in kisses; and she would whisper, almost in sobs, “You are mine, you shall be mine, you and I are one for ever.”

This is CLOVE balm on my skin. The clove note has exterminated everything around it. It's slowly warming up, but still is a clove one-man show. This is for all the clove note lovers out there.

This is one of the last Weenies I tested because I was so afraid of how heady the ylang ylang was in the decant.

 

And indeed, once applied, it is very loud honeyed ylang ylang during the wet phase of the scent. Then the clove makes its way to the front and ends up being the dominant note throughout wear. It's very clove-y once the clove asserts itself, and I really enjoy it! The honeyed ylang ylang resides in the background throughout the rest of the day. Like the other Carmilla scents, I'm not getting much blackcurrant (although I could smell a hint of it in the decant).

 

Although I enjoy how clove-centric this becomes, that ylang ylang and honey in the beginning is too much for me to want more than my decant.
