brigidSleep Paralysis: Patchouli, ripe figs covered in dark chocolate, a cabinet full of imported spices behind a bouquet of brightly blooming flowers.
I'm not a fan of this in the bottle, really, and the initial application on my wrist was A Bit Too Much. Muddled, and fruity (figgy?), and funeral-floral, and kind of decaying... but not decaying in a romantic goth way, decaying in a "how long has THIS been here? get me my mop bucket and a priest" way.
I set it off to the side with "you're in a cult."
It didn't smell bad enough to remove with alcohol, and a few hours in I like it. It smells like incense, a lovely warm smell, not at all over bearing. I can smell my skin through it, too, if that makes sense.
I used to wear patchouli a lot. I know it has a bad reputation, but on some people it plays with their skin chemistry really well and just smells NICE. I'm one of those people. Folks would compliment me on my scent, ask about it, then look weird when I said patchouli. It took me a while to realize it, but the naggingly familiar note I was getting from this perfume is patchouli.
So far there's only one scent I dislike, and this is one of three that's going to be going in rotation.
