doomsday_disco Report post Posted February 5 When love beckons to you, follow him, Though his ways are hard and steep. And when his wings enfold you yield to him, Though the sword hidden among his pinions may wound you. And when he speaks to you believe in him, Though his voice may shatter your dreams as the north wind lays waste the garden. For even as love crowns you so shall he crucify you. Even as he is for your growth so is he for your pruning. Even as he ascends to your height and caresses your tenderest branches that quiver in the sun, So shall he descend to your roots and shake them in their clinging to the earth. Tender branches, clinging roots: plum cognac, vetiver caramel, red labdanum, tobacco root, Turkish rose, and nutmeg. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
roseus Report post Posted March 5 Sniffing the decant, I get the plum cognac, vetiver caramel (in the imp I don't really get the vetiver part, more just caramelized sweetness underneath the plum), rose, and tobacco. Lightly fruity and floral, mellow sweetness, and a bit of dark base notes from the tobacco. While I'm familiar with most of these notes, the combination feels unique, not quite like anything in my collection or memory. On my skin it is similar, a bit more blended and even more mellowed out. I think I'm getting the vetiver -normally it goes harsh on my skin but I think it is blending nicely with the tobacco root and just adding a earthiness, sorting of roughing up the sweeter notes a bit. Sniffing deeply I get hints of the nutmeg with its sweet woodiness. It is sort of resinous, rich and dark. I keep saying sweet but it's not a candy or particularly fruity sweetness. Addicting to sniff, I feel compelled to keep coming back to it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
