BPAL: Uruk and Tzadikim Nistarim
Aug. 4th, 2009 03:16 pmUruk (Wanderlust): A city of mystery, wonder and majesty, said to have been built by order of Gilgamesh. Thick bitter almond and heady night-blooming jasmine with saffron, cinnamon leaf, red patchouli, river lilies, bergamot, fig leaf and the sacred incense of Inanna.
Vial: Almonds and cinnamon
Wet: Almonds, loud and clear with a watery note.
Drydown: flowers and spices have overpowered the almond. Must be the jasmine. Has an almost sharp edge, not quite soapy, to it.Something nasty underneath though, smells like compost. Going very soapy. I suspect the jasmine or bergamot
Dry: soap, like I've washed my hands after cleaning up a potty accident from kid or cat. Yuck yuck yuck.
Tzadikim Nistarim (Sin & Salvation): The scent is one of unadulterated spiritual purity, with a taste of the world's eternal pathos, and the joy of suffering with grace: frankincense, olive, spikenard, hyssop and galangal.
Vial: sweet, resiny and herbal, nothing I can identify
Wet: sweet herbs
Drydown: Sweet flowers and herbal. A vague incense note from the frankincense. A sweet smell, almost of lilies or iris.
Dry: Floral and lovely. I do like this one
