“I concealed myself in the dark dressing room, that opened upon the poor patient’s room, in which a candle was burning, and watched there till she was fast asleep. I stood at the door, peeping through the small crevice, my sword laid on the table beside me, as my directions prescribed, until, a little after one, I saw a large black object, very ill-defined, crawl, as it seemed to me, over the foot of the bed, and swiftly spread itself up to the poor girl’s throat, where it swelled, in a moment, into a great, palpitating mass.
“For a few moments I had stood petrified. I now sprang forward, with my sword in my hand. The black creature suddenly contracted towards the foot of the bed, glided over it, and, standing on the floor about a yard below the foot of the bed, with a glare of skulking ferocity and horror fixed on me, I saw Millarca. Speculating I know not what, I struck at her instantly with my sword; but I saw her standing near the door, unscathed. Horrified, I pursued, and struck again. She was gone; and my sword flew to shivers against the door.”
Scorched oud, bitter resins, black musk, a torn shred of gossamer vanilla, and a clang of metal.

nicey spicey when wet. theres an almost plasticy undertone to it? that seems to be fading pretty quick tho
plastic scent has turned to an almost creakingly dry, dusty wood. plays quite well together with the spicy cookies. talked with my mum. she thinks the scent is nice, but too soft for me. nice to know that my scent profile is “flamboyant.” i then spent like ten minutes trying to pronounce oud. i dont think i got it.
once it dries completely, it settles. still a dry, dusty, haunted house floorboards sort of smell. its like, the ghost of christmas cookies past. it’s an interesting one that i think ill be coming back to
