Empress Cixi

[gypsyjolie]

wet: a sort of fruity incense

drying: I wasn't entirely sure what dragonsblood smells like. This is a fruity, semi-sweet incense smell. It borders on shrill or soapy for me.

full drydown: I was hoping for more of a richer, fuller smell than this. This is pretty in a almost fruity, almost sharp yet incensey way, but it's not comforting to me. It's delicate and yet edges toward soapy. I think it's very headshoppy in the throw - I can sort of taste it in the air like you can with actual burning incense. . If you are a fan of dragonsblood or if your skin chemistry works better with this, I'm sure it is lovely.

Decent throw, especially after it warms up on your skin.
