Faustus

frankincense and cinnamon, darkened by violet

This one threatened to give me a headache. I know cinnamon's not the problem. I'm not sure whether frankincense or violet is to blame, since I end up avoiding those notes now. Really, I suspect neither one is to my tastes.
The cinnamon, alas, gets swallowed up by the frankincense. After that happens, I think the violets come out and sweeten it up. Overall, it's a rather sweet and very dense scent. It doesn't smell bad, just a bit odd to me. I can see it as a room scent, maybe, if it wasn't headache inducing.

1.5/5
