I just got this imp in the mail today, and out of eight I chose it is my very favorite one - hands down!! When I got it I thought it would probably smell really creepy and patchouli/woodsy (which is not really my thing), but I unexpectedly fell completely in love with this one and stumbled upon the perfect scent. To me, this is utter perfection! I. Cannot. Stop. Sniffing. Myself.
In the bottle I smell dominant earthy scents, but am pleasantly surprised to discover the sweet scents are stronger and much much richer and yummier than I had anticipated.
On my skin the earthiness fades to the background and warms up the juniper and florals that take center stage...The florals and juniper are tempered by the earth tones and meld into a honeyed ambrosia with green scent - like a beautiful enchanted forest. This scent actually makes me feel like there are all of these delicious full blooming flowers but I am in a dark still place where I can smell them off in the distance. It makes me feel totally peaceful and relaxed, in a very dark way (which I rather like)...........My eyes literally rolled back in my head when I smelled this on my skin, and it must be so incredibly complimentary with my body chemistry because my boyfriend's eyes rolled back in his head in ecstacy when he smelled it on me too! He said it smelled delicious and sexy...but with something sinister in there, too. It has crazy lasting power on my skin, too.
I never knew a burial could smell this sexy, but if this is what it's really like to be buried then I am all for it! I cannot gush enough about this one. I think Burial is heady, luscious, haunting, gothic heaven. This will be my first big bottle purchase! Love it.
