Black Forest

This is the captured scent of a cold, moonless night, lost deep within the darkest wood. Haunting and desolate, this scent evokes images of fairy tale tragedy and half-remembered nightmares. Thick, viscous pine with ambergris, black musk, juniper and cypress.

I dabbed this on my wrists. The cypress rises the fastest and thickest on my skin. Weirdly enough, it also smells fruity. Definitely heavier on the fairy tales and lighter on the nightmares, yet it simmers from the black musk. I like it.

This isn't one that I ordered, but one of two extras they kindly added to my sample pack. The other is Snake Oil, which they say is "By far, our most popular scent!"
