On a rocky mountain pass, on the southernmost slopes of Mount Belly, the witch-queen reined in her goat-drawn chariot and stopped and sniffed the chilly air.
The myriad stars hung cold in the sky above her.
Her red, red lips curved up into a smile of such beauty, such brilliance, such pure and perfect happiness that it would have frozen your blood in your veins to have seen it. “There,” she said. “She is coming to me.”
And the wind of the mountain pass howled about her triumphantly, as if in answer.
Wild plum, red musk, tuberose, calla lily, heliotrope, pimento, ylang ylang and beeswax beneath a dark haze of sinister purple-hued incense smoke.

On me it’s just sugared plums… unfortunately this one is too gourmand for my taste. But I love love the concept!

Generally a low throw scent for me, the sandalwood stands out most while the rest of the notes generally add a sweetness.

This was an incredible scent. The incense smell is certainly the main focus here, the note which lingers the most in all phases, but the plum and lavender rise and fall between that more powerful scent so that the sandalwood doesn’t overpower. It’s rich, but it has that lingering soft sweetness from the florals. I feel incredibly powerful wearing this. It makes me feel like I’m in a dark room with heavy curtains.

This isn’t quite what I was expecting. It reminds me of champa a little bit but with more of a food quality. A nice enough scent but not for me.

This scent truly fits the name. It is soft and centering with a deepness to it that conjures images of the underdark (but in a nice way). It invokes a scene of a tranquil cave lined with hanging flowers and greenery, the sound of dripping water, and a glowing censer of incense prepared for your next yoga practice. I love it!

I can’t even begin to describe how wonderful the smell is! I can’t wait to wear this everywhere.
