SPOOKEYKATT

Whoa, this is a thick, dark orange-brown oil. No orange blossom or ginger yet, the patchouli is smothering everything. After about a minute the ginger comes through a bit. As it dries the floral comes out, and immediately turns soapy. Ugh, not for me.

The scent of sacred incense swirling up the steep slopes to Swayambhunath Stupa. Saffron, blessed sandalwood, Himalayan cedar and the miraculous lotus of the Buddha with chiuri bark and Nepalese spices. Definitely incense & wood, though more "living pine" than cedar to me. The Vicks Vaporub is strongly there for a few seconds but thankfully recedes to the background. Fades quickly but what's left is a really pleasant spicy woody scent. As it dries there's a very slight sweet/creamy note (lotus maybe?). Very comforting, would be a great bedtime scent for me.

I loved this at first sniff: definitely plum, and spicy flowers, with a little musk rounding it out. After about ten seconds, it went straight to full cassia/cinnamon, nothing else. Boo.
