BEFORE I SMELL:  Some years ago, while I was in Istanbul, I visited a monastery. Part of the ceremony  was the dervish’s dance. I wanted to watch the real one and not the touristic one which is more of a show. This experience was on of the most unique I had not only for the dance itself but for the ambience of the place, the rituals and the reactions of the people. As a tourist I was at the background but close enough to observe everything.  I love to explore different culture’s than mine! I ordered this sample because of this experience, I was looking for an incense and meditative scent!

FROM THE DECANT/BOTTLE: Incense!

WET ON SKIN: Rich incense and sandalwood

DRY DOWN: It’s not a vanilla dominant blend but I get a hint.  It’s almost all incense  to me but a good quality one!

FINAL THOUGHTS: It totally lives up to my expectations!

Goth Rosary: The creator behind these scents is Anti-Sally and except from perfumes she also makes very beautiful rosaries! I think that her shop is closed at the moment because she had a surgery.

I ordered from Goth Rosary almost 4 years ago. She was a very a very friendly seller and she shipped quickly. The main reason I ordered was because I wanted to try her hair conditioner but eventually it didn’t work for my hair (it was too light…). I did love some of the samples but I didn’t buy anything in Full size

BEFORE I SMELL I confess, I love dark and gothic inspired perfumes! Also Love vanilla and flowers!
