BPAL: Magus

[valarltd]

Magus: An ancient blend, swollen with arcane power: galangal, high john essence, frankincense, cedar, and sandalwood. (Bewitching Brews)

Vial: Sharp and nasty, High John? Galangal? coming right through. No hint of cedar, sandalwood or frankinscense

Wet: Still sharp and nasty. Some cedar scent showing

Drydown: Cedar coming on strong, some sandalwood and frankincense is starting in to sweeten it up

Dry: Cedar and frankincense. Very woody and masculine smelling. A dry sort of scent, of the woods and a hot day in Lebanon.

Half an hour: Frankincense getting stronger, cedar still there.

I like it, but it's not really me.

I knew, as soon as I saw this, that it would be the first I tried. There's a backstory to Magus, for me. You see, three years back, I was in an RPG called Fandom High.

The short form: Once upon a time, Han Solo fell in love with Bagoas. And at Christmas, they were having to break up. (On a personal note, I was wiped out. It hurt like I was in mid-breakup) Bagoas had flunked out. Han had come to a couple of unpleasant revelations about himself. And so, Bagoas got him a bottle of Magus as a parting gift, when he left.

Lordy, has it really been 3 years since FH? Wow.

And while it may not be you, was Magus a good choice for Han, now that you know what it smells like?

It's actually more of an Obi-Wan scent.
It's too dry for Han, too much like wood and old things locked in chests in the desert.
