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.
