An enigmatic, otherworldly scent, brimming with power and mystery.
Lavender and jasmine, with a touch of glowing honeysuckle.
The King of the White Cloth, King of the Orishas, the First Among Equals. He is the King of Power, and his weapon is wisdom. He is the essence of honored maturity, wisdom through age and experience, purity of intention, virtue, humility, tolerance, judicious use of power, the knowledge of what is truly right and wrong, the moral code, and the obligation to do what is right. Obatala is the Creator God, who first fashioned mankind from clay; thus, he is also the first sculptor and potter. The human head itself is Obatala’s creation, and it is through it that he grants us the ability to discern genuine morality as opposed to oppressive, mistaken and arrogant self-righteousness. His is not the falsehood of societal boundaries, His Truth is the understanding of one’s own character and the obligations that we all have to our world, our Gods, and one another. He is the Benevolent Judge, calm and lucid, and he governs rational deliberation. His color is white, as His spirit is free from any soil or stain, and His energy radiates sanctified purity, great wisdom, happiness and internal peace. He is associated with cloth, as that was one of His gifts to mankind. The aspects of Obatala are symbolized by the chameleon, boa constrictor, elephant, gorilla, and snail. Obatala is the Lord of Laughter, for it is through wisdom that one may see the joy in life, and through laughter we are able to see the follies of mankind not with cynicism and derision, but with humor, compassion and understanding. Obatala’s Laughter helps soothe the pain of life’s rigors, and takes the sting out of the harshest of life’s lessons. Obatala’s ofrenda is soft, white and pure: milk, coconut meat, shea butter and cool, refreshing water.
A strong, willful blend with a soft, utterly lovely soul: white musk with a trickle of bright, sharp apricot and orange blossom.
Smooth, polished and lethally sharp: dragon’s blood resin and three sandalwoods.

Smells very floral to me. Maybe a combination of lilac and jasmine? There’s some sort of very faint undertone of something warm…but all in all I would have expected dragon’s blood to be a bit more fiery and complex…

Smells like a floral candle mixed with a smidge of synthetic cherry.
I’m probably a lil more bias to this because I love the smell of warm wax.

One of my all-time favourites!
Vanilla & Dragons Blood are perfect pairing, on me the dry-down is a not-so-ordinary vanilla. It toys with the idea of being food with out actually crossing over into the gourmand territory

I received this as an frimp today and I was absolutely thrilled! Not because I think it smells like anything special, but because it smells like something I was looking for: lilac.
For those trying to place the floral note, it’s lilac (or what I understand lilac to smell like). It smells almost exactly like a lilac candle I owned a billion years ago.
Directly in the imp, all I could think was “this smells SO familiar” but couldn’t quite place it… like there’s some kind of spicy or acrid dissonance while it’s wet that kept me from pinpointing it.
Drying on my skin, the spiciness/acridness mellows out a bit, but it’s still there like a still-warm wick and soft wax, leaving me with memories of rainy evenings by candlelight. I can’t stop smiling. I specifically searched for lilac scents because of that candle when compiling my now enormous list of things to try out, but of course Dragon’s Blood didn’t surface in my search because there’s no keywords to match.
For those who fear floral scents, it’s not a bright, happy floral to me. Very mellow. I’m not picking up that it smells “red” in particular.
What a happy coincidence. I did put Dragon’s Milk and Dragon’s Musk on my wishlist. Can’t wait to get around to those now.

This reminds me of a valentine’s day heart-shaped lollipop, if it fell into a bouquet of flowers…

There’s something that reminds me of rubber in this, but it’s not unpleasant. (I don’t know what it is but I imagine it has something to do with resin.) The dominant note on me is red musk – it’s reminiscent of Scherezade but without any sweet spice. Rather, the musk is backed by something that reminds me of dry brush and wood fires. Dry, the woody notes anchor and round it out, but it does not morph otherwise.

Smells RED. It’s hot, but not in a cinnamon way. In a fiery way. There’s musk and firewood. Slightly floral.
Unisex, warm, summer/fall.

This is one of my favorites. It is strong and musky and lasts all day and night on me. If you like dragonblood incense or candles, this smells just like them. A little musky, a little spicy and a hint of sweet. I find it perfect for fall and wintertime.
