Also called the Lamed Vev, two letters in the Hebrew alphabet that translate to the number thirty-six. In this violent, ugly, strife-riddled world of ours there are thirty-six men, the Hidden Just Men or Hidden Saints, who bear on their shoulders the burden of all our pain, sorrows and sins. The Tzadikim Nistarim move in obscurity, and are usually found among the poor, the downtrodden and the meekest among us, and are chosen for this task because of their righteousness, stalwart sense of genuine justice, and the true goodness of their souls. When one of these men dies, God chooses another to take his place. It is for their sake and for love of them that God does not destroy His imperfect creation. As long as the Lamed Vav serves humanity, the world will continue to plod on, but once one of them dies and God cannot find another worthy to take his place, the world will be destroyed. In Qabala, the thirty-six men of the Tzadikim Nistarim together combine to symbolize the seventy-two bridges, corresponding to the seventy-two names of God, that connect the concealed and revealed worlds of our universe.
The scent is one of unadulterated spiritual purity, with a taste of the world’s eternal pathos, and the joy of suffering with grace: frankincense, olive, spikenard, hyssop and galangal.

This is my “signature scent” now. I absolutely love everything about it. On me it starts out with the vanilla mint, then the vanilla blends into the rose. The other scents hit later on my skin, I love how long it lasts and how absolutely wonderful it smells on me. If you love sweet scents, definitely consider this one.

This scent is absolutely lovely – warm, soft, sweet, and sensual all at once. The vanilla, mint, and rose take turns hitting you in waves and then blending into something that transcends all three. If rose-colored silk was a perfume, this would be it.

In the bottle: light mint and sugar with a touch of candy cane.
Applied/first hour: It is very similar to De Vos Unicorn, but with a touch of mint. Alisz is light sugar, mint, and rose. I smell a tiny bit of smokiness, maybe the frankincense. It’s very beautiful.
A couple of hours later: The mint has disappeared and now it’s a light pink floral sugar, very similar to Pink Moon ’17.
This is a very beautiful, light, pink scent and a keeper.
I paired it with Razors in a Doll House hair gloss.
