Uruk

Thick bitter almond and heady night-blooming jasmine with saffron, cinnamon leaf, red patchouli, river lilies, bergamot, fig leaf and the sacred incense of Inanna.

I wasn't at all sure about some of the notes in this one, particularly the florals and almond. Wet, I pick out the jasmine easily, but the background seems muddled.

Once it dries down, it becomes a light, incensy and slightly fruity floral. I can pick out the jasmine and the incense, but the rest is really blended in. The almond never does come out, which is alright by me. It's very pretty, but a little light in throw and staying power. Different from what I usually like, but I think I'll hang on to the imp.

3.5/5
