Satan Presiding at the Infernal Council

Black musk, frankincense, leather, black pepper, incense smoke, ebony, angelica root, and a splash of Stygian fougere.

This is surprisingly wearable for the notes! Yeah it's dark and infernal, but it's also warm and subtle. I tested a *very* small amount and it's almost gone within a couple hours.

Dang, that's sexy - part Hell's Angel (clean) leather jacket, part gleaming, ebonized wood-and-steel showroom for Lucifer's new motorcycle line. I'm not sure why I'm getting a motor oil vibe - possibly the bitterness of angelica root - but it's nicely overlaid with warm organic notes of pepper and sweet frankincense, and a hint (just a hint) of nag champa. It's not something I'd wear myself, but I'd certainly want to get close to an attractive someone wearing it. 

 

Beth has certainly excelled at nailing "sexy engine" with some recent blends!

I expected something more resinous because of the frakincense note, but it is in fact more of a designer men’s leather aromatic perfume with a dark twist.

This is my initial impression: 

It starts off with a blast of very fine black pepper generously sprinkled on top of something akin to Trussardi’s Black Extreme. It then reveals its more “civil” facet. No longer just yelling slogans to rile up his listeners, the devil begins to make his case. The dry down is a much more quiet version of snooty bat’s black leather. The fragrance maintains its bitter aspects through the entire journey, a reminder of his deep hatred and envy.
