Ground hematite and manganite pounded into vegetable waxes
and scented with dates, narcissus, rosewater, and oud.

This smells very vintage! It definitely evokes an ancient cosmetic. On application I can pick out the oud, rosewater and vegetable waxes. As it begins to dry down the floral (narcissus?) waxy notes remain, in a good way. It gently fades to just a light wax scent. I'm gonna say something weird, but if you like the smell of a fresh box of famous-brand crayons (and I do) this is giving that as well. Lovely and very, very interesting scent.

This reminds me a little bit of Bronze Dildo, even though there are no notes in common, just by the virtue of somehow smelling truly ancient and/or archaeological, thanks to the metallic components and natural wax. But it's also a perfect backdrop for the narcissus/rosewater/oud. I love narcissus anyway but this is such a striking composition. The dates don't stand out much to me and it's a pretty oud, don't be scared!

Wet, this was artificial mixed fruit flavor narcissus and wax, but after it settled, I got an interesting vintage blend of narcissus and rosewater with a nutty date note and a mineralic quality.

 

Try this if you're interested in scents like Gun Moll or the Century Guild Kickstarter blends.
