BPAL - Medea 9/10

[lathany]

From the site (Diabolus): "Granddaughter of Helios, Hecate's chosen: Medea was one of the greatest sorceresses of the ancient world. She is the embodiment of ruthless power, indomitable will and furious vengeance. Night-blooming cereus, black orchid, black currant and myrtle leaf enshrouded in the incense of Hecate's cypress and myrrh, and the dark rage of magickal labdanum and intoxicating poppy."

In the bottle: Smells of much more like "normal" perfume than anything else I've tried. It's also got that touch of incense that I like in Desire.

On the skin: Nice. Incense and... um... myrrh perhaps? I'm not sure I can sniff any black currant and I simply wouldn't know if the rest of that long list from the site were there.

An hour later: More of the same. And still strong. Definitely a keeper.

Orchid is the 'normal' perfume smell, IME.

That helps me separate it out as a fragrance. This sniffing thing is harder than I thought.
