AVAILABILITY: Limited
edition
OFFICIAL
DESCRIPTION:Mournful
and Never-ending Remembrance: shining, moonlit ebony musk with
benzoin, myrrh, smoky vanilla, patchouli, nutmeg, and dried red
chili.
BEFORE I SMELL: I
am a huge fun of E.A.Poe and I love Ravens. I wish we had ravens in
Greece as well... The notes sound interesting as well especially the
dried red chili.
FROM THE DECANT/BOTTLE:
Spicy patchouli and deep
raisins.
WET ON SKIN: Nutmeg
is the strongest note. The red chili note is similar from the scent
that you get when you are opening a vase of dried chilies and not
the hotness that you are getting while eating them. The patchouli is
lovely, is the variety which I love. In my opinion is a little bit
masculine and definitely something that Poe would wear!
The
myrrh and the benzoin are definitely there and my boyfriend thought
that I smelt like incense and he really liked it.
DRY DOWN:Still
no vanilla.. It isn't so strong as I was expecting from a heavy on
the patchouli scent. It remains smokey and resinous.
FINAL THOUGHTS:I
really like it, I will keep my decant but I don't think I will hunt a
full bottle.
IF YOU LIKE THIS YOU
WILL LIKE: All sinners day- Possets for the weird chili note!

My lovely sister from Greece, I should have known you're a Poe fan! I love Poe too! When I was in high school, we had to do presentation about a different author, so I immediately ran to the teacher's desk so I could present about Poe! The girl behind me got mad because she wanted to present about him too, but I already chose. :(
ΑπάντησηΔιαγραφήThen, when I visited Charleston, South Carolina with my aunt, we were able to go to the graveyard where Anabelle Lee was buried! :)
I also have a picture above my bed with a sparkling moon that quotes, "All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream." :)
This perfume sounds interesting and pretty. Though, I think a wood based blend with notes from a dark forest would fit the poem better :D
I didn't expect something different! Poe is the Poet!!!! What I love the most about Poe is that everytime I read his work I get something new. Especially when I am trying to translate his poems to my language.
ΔιαγραφήI am so jealous that you visited Anabelle Lee's grave, I really want to do the same some day too...
When I was at high scool I had chosen Bukowski to do my presentation. My professor didn't expect that at all!
