Comments: Really liking this one! Starts with dark chocolate, then becomes a beautiful, gentle myrrh/patchouli blend. Shame a full bottle is so expensive.
Date: 1/5/08 Weather: 40 degrees, partly cloudy
Comments: Starts with the dark chocolate note again. This time, the chocolate note stays with the myrrh and patchouli – much stronger and more tenacious.
Date: 10/2/08 Weather: 55 degrees, clear, evening
Comments: Dark chocolate and myrrh. The chocolate burns away leaving a myrrh / patchouli blend. The sillage on this is stronger than I anticipated. As this dries down, the myrrh dominates. A slight rosy note appears as well. Long gone by the next morning.
Date: 3/22/09 Weather: 50 degrees, sunny
Comments: Starts with a strong coffee / patchouli / myrrh blend. Somewhat astringent. Boyfriend’s comment – what’s that smell?!? I had him sniff my wrist. “Please don’t wear that again.” Dries down to a more pleasant coffee with sugar and creamer scent. I’m not allowed to wear it in the house again.
