valarltdBengal (Wanderlust): A sultry and unruly blend that emulates the ambient scent of the markets in ancient Bengal: skin musk with honey, peppers, clove, cinnamon bark and ginger
Vial: Spicy, definitely pepper, clove and ginger
Wet: mmm cinnamon clove
Drydown: slightly sweaty honey and cinnamon, sweet spices, not much throw. Warming up. The sweaty smell is going away. Still cinnamony.
Dry: Dry hot spices, no sultry here. Cinnamon, ginger and cloves, with sweet musk under it all. It's nice and tame--not unruly either--but not really a standout scent.
Ouija (Bewitching Brews): Lush parlor rooms draped in thick velvets and gilded in gold, unearthly whispering in the distance, fleeting flashes of wraithlike figures rushing just outside your vision, the chill of a phantom presence brushing by your cheek, the inscrutable knowledge that disembodied eyes are peering at you from darkened corners… this is the essence of Victorian-era spiritualism: rosewood, oak and teak notes with wispy blue lilac, tea rose, dried white rose and ethereal osmanthus
Vial: Floral, almost a wintergreen scent
Wet: Definite wintergreen
Drydown: wintergreen roses at first, then roses and coolly spicy wood. Woods coming through more. Very very rose, sweet dusty roses, not wet ones like Whip.
Dry: Elegant roses, polished wood halls, very victorian. I like it a lot. This is for wear with steampunk costuming.
