LadyMako

Named in honor of the most notorious female pirate to ever set sail. Wicked, cruel, beautiful, intelligent, resourceful and dangerous: a true role model. A blend of Indonesian red patchouli, red sandalwood, and frankincense. A million thanks to Juliana Williamson-Page for inspiration! In imp: Patchouli and sandalwood Wet on skin: Sandalwood and incense, very strong. Edging toward the masculine for my nose, which is strange since it is named after a female pirate. I think that woods = masculine to my nose. Drydown: Smoky incense now, which is not unpleasant. Still very very strong on the patchouli. This feels heavy to me. Dry: Smells very much like cedar to my nose. A pleasant smell, but too masculine feeling for me to wear during the day. 3/5 ETA: scent description

In Imp/bottle: It smells like spikecake batter, which was one of my favorites when I was a kid. Wet on Skin: The spice in here taking the lead and I am not quite sure I like that. Maybe thats the caramel, but not the chewy candy kind. As time goes on this seems to get sharper and the muskiness appears. Even later, it smells like burnt caramel on me. Dry: Burnt caramel and teak. Overall: Had such wonderful potential and I wanted to like it, but this is not for me. Darn you skin chemistry! 2.5/5
